93: The Hidden Struggles of Mothers You Need to Hear About

The silence in the delivery room was deafening. Where there should have been a newborn’s first cry, there was only heartbreak. In this deeply moving episode of It’s Your Story to Tell, Caitlin Miller shares the unimaginable pain of experiencing two stillbirths—losing her children before she even had the chance to say hello. Caitlin takes us back to the moment she first realized something was wrong.

As a nurse, she had seen medical emergencies unfold before, but nothing could prepare her for the weight of that silence in her own delivery room. She opens up about the overwhelming grief that followed, how the early days felt like moving through deep grief, that impacted her ability to even speak. As we navigate this conversation, Caitlin reflects on the well-intended but painful moments when others simply didn’t know what to say.

She shares what she wishes more people understood about pregnancy loss—how to offer support with sensitivity, the importance of acknowledging the baby’s life, and the quiet power of simply being present. Caitlin’s story is one of profound loss, but also of resilience. Her courage in sharing her experience is a reminder that grief is not something to be carried alone.

Tune in to Part 2, where we explore how Caitlin is transforming her pain into purpose, helping other mothers who are walking this same difficult path.
