Bernice Quesenberry on From Grief to Purpose: Building Support After Infant Loss
After experiencing secondary infertility, pregnancy loss, and the sudden death of her daughter Brooke at just five and a half weeks old, Bernice Quesenberry found herself searching for consistent support that did not exist. In this episode of the Life After Loss Podcast Series, Jamilah Robinson speaks with Bernice, Founder, CEO and President of Chasing the Rainbows, about transforming personal grief into a national support network for families navigating infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, and pregnancy after loss. Their conversation explores: • What grieving parents need after the initial calls and offers of help begin to fade • Why grief support must extend beyond the immediate crisis • The difference between sympathy and trauma-informed care • The importance of peer support and daily access to resources • Honoring our babies out loud by saying their names and sharing their stories • The emotional responsibility of turning grief into purpose • How loved ones, employers, faith communities, and healthcare professionals can continue showing up for families Chasing the Rainbows provides free, daily, trauma-informed services, including virtual support groups, peer mentorship, trauma therapy, care packages, funeral assistance, mindfulness resources, and online community support. Content note: This episode includes a compassionate discussion of infertility, pregnancy loss, infant death, funeral planning, trauma, and grief.
