The One Where Everyone Did the Best They Could, an Interview with Alina's Friend Julia
The first thing Judith and Alina bonded over was the fact that they both had pregnant friends named Julia. A few weeks ago, you met "Judith's Julia" and today, we introduce you to "Alina's Julia" in the continuation of our friendships after loss series!
Alina and Julia met a decade ago through Kaylee, who you all know as Quinn's other parent. They spent their twenties in deep conversation and big feelings, and for a while they were on the same track, marrying in 2017 and getting pregnant in 2020. Then... when Julia was 4.5 months pregnant with her first child, Alina's first child died and her marriage ended.
The conversation in this episode is a raw, honest, and unflinching look at what deep friendship looks like after loss. Alina and Julia have not been able to be as close as they used to be, as their life circumstances and mental health issues trigger each other, but the love between them has not gone away (not even close). We hope that this episode is validating to the experience of loss parents and friends of loss parents alike. We are all doing the best we can.
