I grew up in a funeral parlour

Today my guest Albena shares two chilling encounters she had as a child in Bulgaria. Once when her great-grandfather came to visit her grandmother to 'take her home'; and a mysterious and very real hooded figure. Albena knew in her heart it was death.  Hosted on Acast.

He came to take her home

Today, my guest is Tarni, a mum and nurse from rural NSW, who’s going to tell us a story that proved to her that life - that love - goes on, even in the wake of deepest grief. After the tragedy of her daughter Ava’s stillbirth, Tarni found solace in a series of inexplicable events and beautiful signs, all of which culminated in a profound realisation later on, following the birth of Ava’s brother.   Before we start, please know that if you find any part of today’s episode distressing, please contact SANDS, an organisation who offer support for anyone dealing with Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Newborn Death. Their 24-hour helpline number is 1300 072 637.   Now settle on for my life-affirming conversation with Tarni.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
