Seven Miscarriages, Two Living Children, and the Hidden Grief So Few Talk About with Gabriela Anastasopoúlou

Seven miscarriages. Two living children. Countless questions.

What does it actually feel like to lose a child through miscarriage?

What happens when the pregnancy test line starts fading and you realize you’re about to lose another baby?

Why do so many women feel completely unprepared for the physical, emotional, and spiritual reality of miscarriage, despite the fact that roughly 1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage?

In this deeply personal and moving conversation, Gabriela Anastasopoúlou shares her journey through a miscarriage, becoming a mom to her son, followed by seven miscarriages and secondary infertility, and the eventual birth of her daughter after years of unanswered questions and heartbreak.

Gabriela opens up about:

• What miscarriage is really like physically and emotionally
• The grief that many couples carry in silence
• Pregnancy after repeated loss
• The medical journey to uncover underlying causes of miscarriage
• Restorative reproductive medicine, NaProTechnology, and fertility treatment
• Why she and her husband chose not to pursue IVF
• The dignity of preborn children lost through miscarriage
• How churches can better support grieving parents
• Finding hope when every positive pregnancy test feels terrifying

As a civil rights attorney and advocate for miscarriage awareness, Gabriela brings both personal experience and profound insight to a topic that affects millions of families but is rarely discussed openly.

Whether you have experienced miscarriage yourself, know someone who has, or simply want to better understand this often-hidden form of grief, this conversation offers compassion, honesty, practical guidance, and hope.
