Holding Grief and Joy: Sarah Cox on Infertility, Loss, and the Power of Community

Holding Grief and Joy: Sarah Cox on Infertility, Loss, and the Power of Community

Author: Emmamma August 6, 2026 Duration: 32:02

In this tender and powerful conversation, Emma sits down with Sarah Cox, a mother to three living children and a daughter in heaven, and the heart behind Journey for Jasmine. Sarah's story spans infertility, PCOS, fertility treatment, multiple pregnancy losses, and the complex reality of pregnancy and parenting after loss. Through all of these lived experiences, she has become a fierce advocate for families navigating infertility and grief—especially those who were never given the education or support they needed to understand their bodies. Together, they explore what it means to hold grief and joy simultaneously, how cycle awareness and body literacy could have changed her fertility journey, and why community is the most powerful medicine for isolation. Sarah also shares about the traveling rainbow skirt—a symbol that has journeyed across all 50 states and around the world, connecting loss families through shared remembrance and hope. This episode is for anyone who has felt alone in infertility, grief, or pregnancy after loss—and for anyone who needs permission to hold sorrow and joy at the same time.
