My Story: From Silent Sorrow to Soulful Healing

My journey began when I was just a young girl. At that tender age, I received a diagnosis that would shape the course of my life: a rare uterine abnormality. Doctors couldn’t tell me if I would ever be able to carry children of my own. That news cast a shadow over my dreams of motherhood.

Fast forward to my twenties. I was married and ready to start a family, determined to overcome my diagnosis and experience the joy of pregnancy. But the path to motherhood was far from smooth.

I underwent nearly two dozen surgeries to make carrying a pregnancy safe. Each one came with its own set of physical and emotional struggles. And then—just when I thought we were moving forward—my husband and I experienced two heartbreaking pregnancy losses in 2017 and 2018.

Those losses shook me to my core.

I was angry. I was ashamed. I distrusted my body and wrestled with my identity as a woman. Grief touched every corner of my life—my marriage, friendships, faith, work, and body. Worst of all, I felt utterly alone.

So, like many women do, I remained silent in my sorrow.

For nearly two years I searched everywhere for resources—books, groups, anything that could help me—but I found nothing that truly held the mind, body, and soul dimensions of miscarriage grief.

Finding My Own Path to Healing

In my desperation, I started creating my own healing pathway. With the help of a therapist specializing in pregnancy-related trauma, I began to find my footing. I pursued holistic practices like Holy Yoga, meditation, EMDR, breathwork, and somatic healing.

As a critical care nurse for over a decade, I had already walked with patients and families through deep grief. Now, I was doing the same for myself.

Over time, I realized something glaringly absent in our culture: there are very few holistic tools or supportive frameworks for women grieving pregnancy loss. Miscarriage is a unique loss, one too often dismissed or left unspoken.

But women need tools.
We need community.
We need a pathway to heal.

The Birth of A Soulful Sorrow

For years, I carried a vision: a safe, sacred space where women could come together, share their stories, and reclaim their sense of self after loss. After countless conversations with women who were craving exactly this, I knew I had to create it.

And so, in 2023, A Soulful Sorrow was born.

I poured my personal, professional, and spiritual experiences into building the Soulful Integration Process (SIP)—a holistic framework designed to hold all the complexities of pregnancy loss. Out of this came the Soulful Sorrow Course & Community, a compassionate space where women can heal in body, mind, and soul.

From Grief to Purpose

Looking back, I see how my deepest sorrows have been transformed into purpose. What began in silence has become a movement toward soulful healing.

Today, I walk alongside women on their own grief journeys, offering support, tools, and community. My hope is to help shift the experience of pregnancy loss from something taboo and clinical into something sacred, inclusive, and honored.

Grief is not the end of the story.
It’s the beginning of a new chapter filled with resilience, growth, and healing.

May our sorrow never be silent again—
Let it be soulful. 💜

Our healing course & community inside the Collective are ALWAYS here for you.

With love,
Lolo
