In this episode, certified grief coach and podcast host Shannon Roane, shares her raw journey through an ectopic pregnancy that resulted in emergency surgery and the removal of her left fallopian tube, followed by a second miscarriage just months later.

Despite these back-to-back losses, Shannon went on to conceive two children naturally — a miraculous outcome with only one fallopian tube. She opens up about suffering in silence, finding healing through journaling and therapy, and how a divine message on the side of a tractor trailer restored her faith.

Shannon also shares how her losses shaped her into a fierce "mama bear" parent and ultimately inspired her to launch J&J Journals and the Highlight Your Healing podcast to support other women navigating grief with faith.

This week, I'm doing something a little different. A little vulnerable.

My debut book, Never Healing Alone: How to Navigate Grief and Find Community After Pregnancy and Infant Loss, comes out next year (April 6, 2027), and you, this community, are the reason it exists. You are my "why."

So, before anyone else in the world hears it, I want to share it with you.

In this week's special episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, I am sitting down and reading the entire, final introduction to the book, out loud.

This is the heart of the book. It's the story of my own losses, the "Great Disappearance" of care, the systemic failures, and the birth of the Healing Archetypes™. It sets the stage for everything we are going to heal together in these pages.

And because you are my most trusted community, I would be so honored to hear your feedback. As you listen, I want you to consider:

✨ Does this sound like your story? When you hear me talk about the "Strong Black Woman" armor or feeling dismissed by doctors, do you feel seen?

✨ What part hits you the hardest? Is there a specific sentence or story that lands in your spirit and makes you say, "That's it. That's the feeling."?

✨ Who would you send this to? When you hear these words, who immediately comes to mind? A friend? A family member? Your therapist?

This is more than just an audiobook preview; it's an invitation. I want you to feel like you are part of this book's journey from my heart into the world.

After you listen, please send me a DM on Instagram (@sistersinloss) or reply directly to this email and let me know your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable as we prepare to share this medicine with the world.

🎧 Listen now to this exclusive first read of the Introduction to Never Healing Alone on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

To the mother with empty arms this weekend: We see you. Your motherhood is real. Your love is valid. And your title is forever. 🕊️🤎

Sunday is Bereaved Mother's Day—a sacred, often quiet space carved out before the noise of traditional Mother's Day begins. It's a day that acknowledges the mothers whose babies are held in their hearts instead of their hands.

In this week's special episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, we are holding space for the heaviness of this upcoming weekend. We're talking about:
✨ Why you don't have to be "strong" right now.
✨ The radical, necessary act of resting through your grief.
✨ How to use the "Power of the Pause" to protect your peace when the world feels too loud.

If you are dreading the days ahead, this episode is your permission slip to unplug, set boundaries, and simply survive it. You do not have to navigate this alone.
