THREAD: I’m a big fan of Meghan Markle’s honesty and candor.

Losing a child to miscarriage is absolutely heart wrenching. @KathrynNiforos and I went through it in 2019. It was our first pregnancy after a year+ of trying. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/25/opinion/meghan-markle-miscarriage.html?smid=tw-share

One of the especially difficult aspects of miscarriage is that parents often grieve in silence. This seems needlessly cruel because miscarriages are so common.

When we did open up to a small circle of friends, we drew strength from those who went through the same thing.(2/5)

So, take Meghan’s advice. Ask people “Are you OK?”

And answer honestly when asked!

And Men, when it comes to pregnancy related issues: talk about it. Be honest with your friends. You’ll feel better. I know I did. Please call on me to chat anytime.

And for those struggling with fertility, please know that as I type this, I’m rocking a perfect 10 week old girl. And while a successful pregnancy coming on the heels of an unsuccessful one can feel extra stressful (particularly amid pandemic!), it will work out. Trust me.

Take care of yourselves and one another. Much love to you all.

Happy Thanksgiving, Boston.
