In this touching episode, I talk with Brittany, a mom to an almost 4-year-old and to her sweet son, Mason, who she lost at full term just eight months ago.
Brittany opens up about the shock of stillbirth: how we never think it will happen to us until it does, and the loneliness that follows. She shares how the community of angel moms has become a lifeline of support, reminding her she’s not walking this road alone.
She takes us through her birth story with Mason, describing the moment he arrived: how the room felt both silent and deafening at the same time, and the ways she continues to honour him every day.
Brittany has found purpose in her grief, starting two new businesses in Mason’s name: one creating beautiful bracelets to remember babies gone too soon, and the other as a grief coach supporting others through loss.
This is a raw, honest conversation about love, loss, and finding meaning in the aftermath. You can reach out and connect with Brittany here.
