  • Recurrent loss

    I really enjoyed the latest episode it really resonated with me . I have read both of Elle's book when I was deep in the trenches of recurrent losses . The last chapter in bump in the road ' girl in the mirror ' really makes me cry as I did eventually make it to the other side and that chapter sums up everything for me .

    Both books are amazing and so is this podcast.

  • So helpful in the first weeks

    This podcast really helped me in the first few weeks after my first child was full term stillborn. I was at a total loss and didn’t know who I was or what I was supposed to do or feel. It really helped to listen to other people’s stories in depth and just also to listen to what life after babyloss is like. The girls discuss serious issues but with friendship and sarcasm and humour. It’s comforting to hear all your feelings explained and to realise you’re not alone. This podcast was my first laug... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lucy Livesey
Q: If you could go back to 2017 and talk to Lucy then, what would you say to her?
Acknowledges the need for creating space and understanding that not everyone can fix the situation; the emphasis is on being present, honest, and supportive without overstepping.
Lucy Livesey
Q: Lucy, how can charities like Teddy's Wish support the work that you're doing?
A discussion on collaboration and the need for conversations between charities to amplify impact, including potential joint efforts or meetings to explore support mechanisms.
Lucy Livesey
Q: Starting right from the beginning, can you let us know what brought you into this community?
Lucy explains her nursing background, the pregnancy with Ellie, the discovery of her daughter's cardiac condition, and the decision to combine hypnobirthing with a mindful, controlled approach to birth and loss.
Marina Fogle
Q: Have conversations around baby loss changed over the last decade, and do you think it's improved enough?
There has been meaningful progress, aided by open dialogue and public figures sharing their experiences, but there's still a long way to go to make infant mortality conversations routine and stigma-free.
Marina Fogle
Q: And if you were to speak to Marina, who had just returned home from Austria after Willem's loss, what would you tell her to help her get through what she's about to face?
In the short term, you'll get through this and it won't define you; in the long term, finding ways to honor Willem's memory through advocacy and connection with others can bring purpose and hope.
