Grief and Pregnancy Loss (Part 2)

In Part 2 of this deeply moving conversation, Dionne and Yvette stay at the kitchen table with Adrienne Bailon-Houghton as the story turns toward what carried her through: faith, ritual, acceptance, and the sacred path that led her to surrogacy.

Adrienne opens up about the grief she didn’t realize she was still carrying—the quiet sobs in the shower, the heartbreak of another loss during COVID, and the truth that miscarriage is not something you simply “move on” from. Together, they talk about the pain of unspoken grief, the power of being witnessed, and the ways love, faith, family, and community can hold you when words fall short.

This episode is also about what helps and what hurts: the comments that wound, the support that steadies, and the people who walk beside us without trying to fix what cannot be fixed. With honesty, tenderness, and hard-won wisdom, Adrienne shares how acceptance made room for joy, how surrogacy became an act of surrender and love, and how motherhood still arrived in a way that was holy, intentional, and fully hers.

And in true Two Mothers, One Aché fashion, this conversation brings us back to the heart of it all: your grief is real, your love is real, and you do not have to let go to keep healing.
