Show Notes
In this special episode, I’m joined by Nina, who shares the story of her twins, Liam and Grace; her two beautiful babies who she carries in her heart every single day. We talk about the moments she had with them, the incredible care she received, and the small gestures of compassion that meant everything. Because of the time of year, we also talk openly about how incredibly hard Christmas can be for anyone who has experienced pregnancy or baby loss, or who hoped to have children and don’t. We share gentle ways to mind yourself, protect your heart, and do Christmas in whatever way feels right for you. Nina also shares the work she does with Féileacáin and how she became involved in helping other bereaved parents. Please take care as you listen, as this episode includes discussion of pregnancy and baby loss.
💛 As always, if you’ve been impacted by any kind of pregnancy loss, please know you are not alone. Support links and resources are included in the show notes.
