Clara and Bobby

For today’s episode, we welcome Fiona, mam to Clara and Bobby.  Fiona speaks with great honesty about the complex emotions of twin loss — when one baby lives, and one baby is so deeply missed.  From early in her pregnancy, Fiona knew that Clara would not live, and she shares the heartbreak of carrying that knowledge while still holding hope.  Together, Fiona and Kilian had to prepare to welcome Bobby into the world… while also preparing to say goodbye to Clara.  In this conversation, Fiona reflects on the unique experience of parenting Bobby while grieving Clara, and how Clara continues to shape and influence Bobby’s life in beautiful and meaningful ways.We recognise that these conversations can be difficult. We invite you to listen gently and to mind yourself and your heart. If listening brings up strong emotions, please remember you are not alone, and support is available through Féileacáin in whatever way feels right for you.
