Resources for Infertility and Grief


If this book has found its way into your hands, chances are infertility has touched your life in a deeply personal way. While no resource can take away the pain, many can offer understanding, practical guidance, compassionate care, and the reassuring reminder that others have walked this path before you. The organizations, podcasts, and support services below are excellent places to find information, community, and compassion as you continue your own journey. (With time the availability of these services may shift but do not give up, there are many options in finding support!).

If you’re struggling with pregnancy loss / acute grief

  • Grief Out Loud
    Gentle validation, normalizes grief without forcing meaning-making.

  • Here After with Megan Devine
    Very grounded, trauma-informed, avoids toxic positivity.

  • Selected episodes of The Infertility Feelings Podcast
    Helpful when you want infertility-specific naming of grief, but can be heavy — go slowly.

 


If you’re in IVF / TTC waiting cycles

  • Beat Infertility
    Very helpful for structure and “what’s happening medically.”

  • As a Woman
    Clear explanations from a fertility doctor — reduces uncertainty spirals.

  • The Fertility Podcast
    Good mix of education and patient stories without being too emotionally intense.



If you’re in processing / integration phase

  • Infertile AF
    Strong for identity rebuilding and honesty.

  • Good Mourning
    Helps normalize different grief trajectories.

  • Terrible, Thanks for Asking
    Good when you can tolerate deeper emotional stories again.

  • The Longest Shortest Time
    Especially helpful for miscarriage + “what comes after” narratives.

 


If you’re feeling emotionally flooded or easily triggered

  • As a Woman (clinical tone)

  • Beat Infertility (structured, predictable)

  • Short, specific episodes of Grief Out Loud (not long storytelling ones)

 


If you want validation of anger, shame, resentment

  • Infertile AF
    Probably the most direct about anger and resentment.

  • Terrible, Thanks for Asking
