TFMR: Lyndsay’s Story Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

TFMR stands for Terminating a Wanted Pregnancy. It's what I had to do. And what it turns out, thousands of women have to do all the time. It's tragic, but what’s almost as tragic is that many of these women do not feel like they can be open about their experience. On top of the excruciating pain of their loss they also have to hide the truth of their circumstances and suffer in silence. I hope by talking about my experience and sharing other stories of TFMR, that these women will feel safe and supported.

In this episode Lyndsay shares her TFMR story and her wisdom.
