What's invisible grief?

Written By Carla Townsend

So you're on a donor egg pathway and you've had a long fertility journey to get to this point.

Most women and couples have sadly experienced many losses on the way to get to the point of needing to use donor eggs.

You could be experiencing cumulative grief.

There are generally no public funerals for an ectopic pregnancy, an early miscarriage, a chemical pregnancy or a failed embryo transfer and yet the sense of loss is felt and very real.

The grief seems invisible to everyone else and this can feel extremely isolating.

I hope this episode offers some insights and helps anyone on this pathway to feel a little less alone.

All of your feelings are valid.

Sending heart felt wishes and support.
