Jamilah Robinson, from the Missing Pieces Support Group, joins the pebble to discuss pregnancy loss and the importance of community support. Jamilah shares her personal journey through multiple miscarriages, the isolation and lack of resources she experienced, and how that inspired her to create @missingpiecessupportgrouptexas. She emphasizes the power of connecting with others who understand, the comfort of knowing you're not alone, and the importance of having a safe space to grieve. Her passion for helping others is evident as she describes the various programs offered by Missing Pieces, from in-person and virtual support groups to care packages and resources for pregnancy after loss.
