Navigating Loss and Embracing Hope — A Conversation with Vallen Webb on Pregnancy, Grief, and Motherhood - Ep. 91
In this powerful and tender episode of The Escape Pod, Charity and KB sit down with Vallen Webb — a mother, creative, and deeply reflective soul — to share her story of losing her daughter, Evelyn, at birth, and what it means to live with both love and loss intertwined.
Vallen opens up about the joy of expecting her third child, the heartbreak that followed, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going when the world looks completely different. With raw honesty and openness, she shares how grief reshaped her understanding of motherhood, connection, and what it means to find hope again — not in forgetting, but in remembering with love.
Together, they talk about:
- The unseen realities of pregnancy and infant loss.
- The emotional complexity of mothering children both here and gone.
- How grief changes relationships, identity, and perspective.
- Why healing is not linear — and how small moments of beauty can still appear in the midst of pain.
- The power of sharing your story so others know they aren’t alone.
This conversation is a safe, compassionate space for anyone navigating loss or holding space for someone who is. Through Vallen’s words, we’re reminded that grief isn’t something to “get over” — it’s something we learn to live with, and even grow from.
