TRIGGER WARNING - Miscarriage, Infant and Child Loss
Get ready to be captivated as we journey through the extraordinary life of EJ McNicol, a resilient author and philanthropist. This remarkable woman shares her life story with us, from her adventurous childhood in Fiji to her pursuit of education in New Zealand and England, and eventually, her deep connections formed in Australia.
Motherhood, for EJ, is an adventure filled with love, laughter, and valuable life lessons she instilled. She shares candid and humorous anecdotes of her life as a mother, the firm and fair values she upheld, and her enduring love story with her husband, Roddy. Yet, wrapped within these warm memories are heartbreaking stories of loss of two of her boys – experiences so profound they led EJ to put pen to paper and share her journey with the world.
The conversation takes a deeper turn as we navigate the painful path of EJ’s infant and child loss. The tragic death of her son Ben led to the creation of the Ben McNicol Trust, a legacy of love and hope. EJ’s resilience shines through as she recounts her decision to move her family from England to Australia, and how she began writing her book, how she came across the Precious Wings organisation, providing memory boxes for parents who have suffered miscarriage, infant or child loss. Join us as we listen to EJ’s inspiring journey of love, loss, and legacy, a conversation that will leave you reflecting long after it ends.
