As a daughter of a narcissistic mother and someone who has endured religious trauma, I want you to know this first: you are not alone. I was born and raised in Pakistan and have navigated my own journey through anxiety, CPTSD, depression, and dyslexia. For a long time, I carried guilt, confusion, and the quiet feeling of never being fully seen. Therapy was a meaningful and supportive part of my healing, and I’m grateful for the clarity it provided. Over time, I also began attending peer support groups, where I experienced something deeply transformative, being witnessed by others who showed up vulnerably and met me as an equal. That sense of shared humanity shifted my healing in profound ways. I originally trained and worked as a medical doctor, but I came to understand that my heart was in creating spaces centered on connection, presence, and lived experience.

Topic context

Understanding tfmr

Losing a loved one can feel like losing a part of yourself. The grief can be overwhelming and isolating, especially when others around you have moved on or don’t fully understand the depth of your pain. It’s a journey that requires time, compassion, and a safe space to process. Peer support sessions give people the chance to connect with others who have experienced similar losses. These conversations help participants feel understood and less alone in their grief. Sharing memories, struggles, and even moments of hope can provide emotional relief and remind individuals that healing is possible, one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

What does TFMR stand for?

TFMR stands for termination for medical reasons, a pregnancy termination following a diagnosis that affects the health of the baby, the pregnant person, or both. It is often an unexpected and deeply painful loss.

Are TFMR Peer Specialists only for people who have had a termination?

These specialists are primarily for people directly affected by TFMR, including the person who was pregnant and their partner. Family members processing a TFMR loss alongside a loved one are also welcome in many 1-on-1 sessions.

Will my specialist understand my experience?

Yes. TFMR Peer Specialists have lived through this loss themselves. They understand the complexity of grief, guilt, and the isolation that often surrounds TFMR, without needing long explanations.
