This extra special episode is an interview with my mom! Sometimes, I think, we don’t even consider the perspective of our babies’ grandparents. Loss, infertility, PAL — it all affects them too. Come listen to my mom and I discuss her perspective through our journey. It’s such a sweet conversation!

This episode is a little bit of a different one. I’m going to be talking about grief and lament, joy in the midst of sorrow, and what it looks like to be in the depths of despair, unable to find joy. But I’m also going to be talking about hope. The goal of this whole podcast is to give help and hope to families walking through pregnancy after loss. And I believe that goal cannot be accomplished without a discussion of lament. Yesterday was Bereaved Mother’s Day. It’s a day in which we in the loss community naturally talk about grief. So, here I am, talking about it.
