Pregnancy and Infant Loss Training is Raw

The 3-day PAIL training is so raw.. So many tears were shed. My very first client was younger than me by a few years and she was SO excited about having her first baby. I was excited too! Then one day I got the call that she lost her baby... I was beyond devastated. I was so heartbroken for her and I never expected my first client to lose her baby. It matured me as a doula and as a person knowing that pregnancy is hard, birth is hard, postpartum is hard. It's not like in the movies, these are real lives. In this training I realized that the magnitude of this work is bigger than I can ever imagine. So far, all of my births have been successful vaginal births. But, I am prepared for anything with prayer, love, kindness, and silence when needed. What a journey this career path has put me down...
