In this heartfelt episode of the What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss podcast, we are joined by Domenique Rice, a devoted mother and advocate who navigates the complex journey of grief after stillbirth.
Domenique shares her personal story of losing her son, TJ, at 36 and a half weeks, and the transformative path she’s walked since then.
Domenique discusses her role as a bereaved mother of five, an advocate for stillbirth awareness, and a community leader. She highlights the importance of breaking the silence around child loss and empowering families to navigate their grief unapologetically.
As the Operations Director for Push for Empowered Pregnancy and a BIPOC support group facilitator for Return to Zero Hope, Dominique passionately addresses the systemic issues that contribute to stillbirths and emphasises the urgent need for awareness, research, and support.
Throughout the episode, Dominique offers practical advice on how to advocate for oneself in the workplace after loss, manage triggers, and find ways to parent a child who is no longer physically present. Her candid reflections remind us that grief is a lifelong journey, one that evolves but never fully fades.
Join us as we explore the power of community, the significance of honouring both grief and joy, and how speaking up can make a difference for families affected by stillbirth.
Whether you’re navigating your own journey of loss or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of wisdom, strength, and compassion.
