Ep: 016 Grief in Silence: A Grandparent’s Story of Baby Loss
Description
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses baby loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please take care while listening.
In this deeply moving episode, Marie opens up about her experience as a bereaved grandparent following the heart-breaking loss of her granddaughter. With raw honesty and compassion, she reflects on the emotional toll of baby loss and the silence that often surrounds it. Marie also shares how Baby Loss Awareness Week offers a vital space for remembrance and community - shining a light on an unimaginable grief that many feel uncomfortable talking about.
The episode explores the broader context of pregnancy and infant loss where the statistics show that approximately 15 in every 100 pregnancies end in miscarriage and around 13 babies die shortly before, during or shortly after birth each day in the UK. These numbers highlight the urgent need for awareness, support and open conversation.
