How do you mother once you find out you’re going to lose yours? - a journey through grief with Claire Andrews

from Beyond the Bump · host Sophie Pearce & Jayde Couldwell

This week on Beyond the Bump, we’re joined by the lovely Clare Andrews — a maternal child health nurse, mum, and all-round legend. Clare’s no stranger to the poddy, and today she opens up about an incredibly personal journey: earlier this year, her mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  Clare shares how she’s navigating the juggle of being both a mum and a daughter during such an emotional time. We talk about the mental, physical, and emotional load, and how grief can begin even before a loved one passes. It’s a raw and heartfelt chat about anticipatory grief, showing up for your family, and finding space for yourself amidst it all. As always, we hope you enjoy! 💛   Resource links: Download Claire’s free Thrive Parenthood app: iPhones (iOS) here or Android phones (via Google Play) here safehandsparenting.com.au Inherited  - Michelle Andrews on the very best and worst of life Inherited - Vicky Andrews on cherishing the time she has left   Beyond the Bump is a podcast brought to you by Jayde Couldwell and Sophie Pearce!
