In this emotional and uplifting episode of Loud About Loss, I sit down with my best friend, Ashley, as she shares her heartbreaking story of losing her son, Macklin, to stillbirth. Together, we explore the importance of community, the power of friendship, and how we’ve each found hope in the midst of our grief. Through our conversation, we reflect on the healing that comes from supporting one another, finding purpose, and making a difference through starting our own nonprofits.
In this episode, we discuss:
My best friend’s journey of grief after the stillbirth of her son
The role of community and how connecting with others who understand the pain of child loss can help you heal
The importance of friendship in navigating grief and finding hope
Our personal experiences with grief, and how we’ve turned our pain into purpose by starting nonprofits
The transformative power of giving back and supporting other bereaved parents
What happens to the people closest to us when our child dies.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that grief doesn’t have to be faced alone and that healing can come from sharing your story, finding your community, and making a difference in the lives of others. If you're navigating child loss, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insight and comfort.
