In this deeply personal and powerful episode of Wake Her Up, we sit down with our brother to talk about the heartbreaking journey he and his wife have endured through infertility and the unimaginable pain of eight miscarriages.This is more than a story of loss — it’s a rare and raw look at the male perspective in a space so often centered around women. We explore how his experience has shaped him as a husband, a man, and a brother, and how women's healthcare — or the lack of support within it — affects not just women, but their partners and entire families.This conversation is an invitation for couples to feel less alone in their grief. Whether you’ve walked a similar path or want to better understand the quiet heartbreak so many face, this episode is about connection, compassion, and the courage to speak the unspeakable.Find us on social mediaMarcella HillSharon JohnsonFind the free community and hormone therapy directory at WAKEHERUP.CO
