Every October, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month gives voice to a pain that many suffer in silence. Miscarriages and stillbirths are far more common than most realize — yet the grief often goes unseen. Behind every statistic is a deeply personal story of love, loss, and hope.
Over the years, many public figures have shared their experiences to help break the stigma and remind others that they are not alone:
- Beyoncé revealed that she experienced multiple miscarriages before welcoming her daughter, calling it “the saddest thing I’ve ever been through.”
- Michelle Obama, in her memoir Becoming, described her miscarriage as a “lonely, painful experience,” later finding hope through IVF.
- Chrissy Teigen and John Legend openly grieved their son Jack’s stillbirth, sparking global empathy and conversation about pregnancy loss.
- Meghan Markle shared her story in The New York Times, describing the “almost unbearable grief” of her miscarriage and encouraging compassion for others walking the same path.
- Gabrielle Union, who faced multiple miscarriages due to adenomyosis, reminded women that their bodies are not broken — they are resilient.
And countless others — from Carrie Underwood and Julia Louis-Dreyfus to Sharon Stone and Keanu Reeves — have bravely spoken about the emptiness, guilt, and healing that follow such a loss. Their honesty opens the door for others to talk about what has long been hidden.
The Silent Recovery After Loss
The aftermath of pregnancy loss is not only emotional — it can be physical.
Women may experience pelvic pain, scarring, or adhesions from D&C procedures, C-sections, or infections following miscarriage. These internal changes can affect fertility, menstrual health, and even intimacy.
At Clear Passage Physical Therapy, we specialize in gentle, hands-on techniques that help the body heal after trauma. Our therapy focuses on:
- Breaking down internal adhesions that can form after surgery or miscarriage
- Restoring pelvic balance and mobility to ease pain and improve function
- Supporting emotional recovery through compassionate, one-on-one care
Many of our patients come to us after a loss — some seeking help to conceive again naturally, others simply looking to feel whole in their bodies once more.
