E21 Jennifer Senn Talks Pregnancy Loss- stillbirth, navigating guilt and blame, how to support someone who has lost a baby
Jennifer is a certified life coach who specializes in pregnancy loss recovery coaching. She is also the creator and host of the Navigating Baby Loss podcast.
Jennifer's third pregnancy ended in the stillbirth of her twin daughters, weeks before they were to be born. She had two young sons she was caring for, and didn't process her grief until much later. She suffered from physical ailments as a result, and eventually had a hysterectomy at the age of 40.
Jennifer had a subsequent pregnancy and healthy birth after the stillbirth of her twin daughters. She expected it to be a healing, redeeming birth, but it didn't help the grief that Jennifer still felt. She found she couldn't look beyond a few days to a week at a time. She couldn't imagine a future months, or even years in advance.
When she met with a life coach at her work, that's when things began to change for Jennifer. She got the help that she needed, and began to heal.
Jennifer now works as a life coach who specializes in pregnancy loss recovery. She helps her clients navigate topics such as blame, guilt, isolation, depression, anxiety, marriage/ relationship issues, body shame, jealousy, returning to work after and facing others’ comments, as well as fear of another pregnancy following a loss.
She works with women and their families re-designing a future that looks different than when it did while they were pregnant, and showing them that life after loss can still be beautiful in a way that honors their baby and themselves.
