Season 4 Episode 4: Let's talk about Grief. What does is all mean during the IVF and Surrogacy Process?

In this episode Liz chats about her new Accreditation as a Grief Counsellor specialising in Fertility and Surrogacy.

For so many of us that have gone through fertility treatments, gone through IVF, and then go onto surrogacy; we go through so many layers of grief.

Grief that our bodies are not being able to what we’ve been told they should do 

Grief of multiple loss or any loss 

Grief of all the “what if’s”

Grief of another failed treatment 

Grief of stopping treatments 

Grief of what is next 

Grief of looking at surrogacy and struggling to come to terms with how that looks 

Grief of perhaps using a donor program 

Grief of not being able to carry 

The feeling of failure; not only as a woman but men also. 

Grief that we’ve failed our partner, families and society

Fertility grief is very real and not supported enough around the world. Let's open up the conversation and try and make a change.
