E36 - Grief and Disappointment with Nate & Ang

Episode Summary

"Mourning with those that mourn and comforting those that stand in need of comfort requires vulnerability on both sides. To have that kind of influence on others, and to allow them to have that kind of influence on you, requires opening up in ways that can feel scary." -Angilyn Bagley

Episode Notes

In the last few weeks, Nate and Angilyn have experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.

They felt the excitement and joy of learning that they were expecting for the first time, only to feel the heartache and grief of a miscarriage shortly afterwards.

Everyone deals with grief and loss in different ways. In this episode of the podcast, Nate and Ang share how having a support system of close friends and family has helped to ease their pain. 

In Nate's words, "It was so fun having people be ecstatic with us, and it was so powerful to have people cry with us when it didn’t work out. To me, there’s nothing more beautiful in life than having friendships like that."
