Nathalie + A'Mya

What this episode covers

Nathalie is a mother of twins, one here on earth and to the other, A'mya who died just days after birth 11.5 years ago. Since then, Nathalie has parented both of them the best she can while learning about her own grief. She is a holistic counsellor and coach as well as a writer and published author of multiple grief resource books and the founder of the Grieving Parents Support Network. This conversation is truly so healing. We cover what it's like to carry twins knowing one may not make it, what it's been like to parent one without her sister, and how she is a source of hope for those that she coaches by shining a light on what this life is about after loss. We discuss: Grief as front & center at first How it stays but it isn't as big as in the beginning Healing is a process and not an end point. We don't ever say we're "healed" How to not lose hope with the potential of losing hope Survivors guilt with twins Teaching her daughter about her sister & letting her find her own way of grieving Understanding our grief Being OK with always having just plan B, living life with grief Relationships during and after loss Who we are before will dictate how we handle loss And so much more!!

As always do your own research & use your own judgement on what's best for you. I am not a doctor or a therapist. I am just a real life loss mom describing her experiences with life after loss. This is my real life, and I'm putting it out there so you feel less alone. *** For more REAL TALK about pregnancy loss, stillbirth and grief, hit follow!
