Ep 56: Carrying Grief with Love: Katherine Cribbs on Navigating Life After Stillbirth

In this deeply moving episode of What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss, we sit down with Katherine Cribbs, who shares the heart-wrenching story of losing her son, Liam, to stillbirth at 38 weeks and four days. Katherine opens up about the overwhelming grief, the challenges of navigating a world that often misunderstands or dismisses the depth of her pain, and the strength she finds in honouring Liam’s memory. Katherine discusses the physical and emotional journey that led to Liam's birth, the moments of disbelief, and the harsh reality of delivering a baby who has passed. She also talks about the complexities of returning to a life that no longer feels the same and the importance of setting boundaries to protect her mental and emotional health. Throughout the conversation, Katherine reflects on the love that underpins her grief and the importance of allowing that love to guide her as she moves forward. She speaks candidly about the need for greater awareness of pregnancy loss, both in the medical community and in society at large, and the crucial role of support from those who truly understand. Join us as we delve into a raw and real discussion that touches on the unspoken realities of pregnancy loss and the enduring love that remains.
