This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week and we had the privilege of interviewing author, mother and motivational speaker, Malin Andersson. Malin speaks about the loss of her baby girl Consy and how she navigated her grief journey alongside the loss of her mother, whilst also in the midst of a domestically abusive relationship. We speak about what Malin found helpful in her grief, the arrival of Consy's younger sister Xaya, and parenting again after loss. We were all inspired by Malin's bravery, and know that you will be too. Trigger Warning: we speak about domestic abuse in this episode.
In this special epsiode we talk about Back to School Week and other triggers. We discuss the doorstep pictures on social media and how they make us feel, aswell as how we manage other things that trigger us most in our grief.

A first for us on the pod, as we get to hear what the loss of a child feels like from a dad’s perspective.

In this episode, ahead of Mother's Day, we discuss how we all navigated our first one without our boys, and what we do now as each year passes. We also chat about messages of support from friends on Mother's Day or what we would have loved to have heard from those supporting us. It's challenging explaining what it feels like to be a mother without a baby here for the world to see, but we do our best at giving an insight into how that can feel. We know how difficult this day can be for so many, so we are sending everyone who needs it, all our love and strength this weekend.
In this episode, we speak with Professor Mark Johnson, leading Consultant Obstetrician and Head of Research & Development at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, London. Mark is also the founder of Borne, a medical research charity which aims to prevent premature birth. This episode is particularly pertinent as Mark supported Caro in her subsequent pregnancies after losing her first son, Freddie.
