No matter what the circumstances are - It hurts
Interview with Lea Perfetti from Ocean Wyse Yoga
On the outside, Lea's life seems perfect. Lea is a yoga teacher and surfer. She lives with her 4 kids and her husband on the coast of Portugal. But all this does not prevent her from falling into a black hole after her miscarriage. A black hole her environment cannot understand and that gains even more depth through hurtful comments. In the interview, Lea tells her very personal story and talks about,
- how difficult it is to give yourself time to mourn for your lost child when others hardly understand your feelings,
- what consequences can occure, when a 'strong' woman has to function and suppresses grief,
- why it is important (not only for oneself) to be consciouse about one's own needs after a loss and to give oneself enough time for healing.
