Summary

Welcome to season 3!We couldn’t think of a better person to kick off season three during bereaved parents’ month than Rochelle from @Rochelle is a mum, wife and incredible rural women deeply embedded in her community. She knows grief and loss more than most people. Rochelle candidly shares her journey of staring her family. She discusses the loss of Edward, the journey to her son Jock and what it is like to return to pregnancy after loss. Rochelle is so open with this community about how you can support someone who has experienced baby loss. What NOT to say and HOW you can do the SIMPLEST things that offer such comfort and support to families whose baby has passed. Rochelle shares some scary statistics, like did you know that there are more babies lost each year in Australia than the road toll. I felt like this was my own personal education session, I learnt more from Rochelle in our chat than I have from some PD I have done over the years! I left this conversation deeply impacted, Rochelle imparted so much knowledge on myself that I will carry with me forever.  Rochelle’s mission and Edwards legacy is the baby loss mentor, and she drives bereavement care in the bush. I was really taken back when she spoke of her work, and the way in which she supports, and nurtures loss families as her way of continuing to parent Edward. Rochelle not only support families who have had a loss navigate this extremely difficult time, but she is also on a mission to educate workplaces, and community on how they can support friends and family whose babies have passed away. Rochelle and I take a deep dive on how as a society in general we don’t always deal with grief and death all that well, and how you can create space to allow friends to talk about ALL their children, both living and passed.  Rochelle was nominated and a finalist in the NSW Regional Women of the year awards, and I am not bloody surprised.  Rochelle was also an Agri futures finalist in 2023. Her list of awards and acknowledgments are long and are a true indication of the incredible work she is doing. Rochelle is everything that I love about living rurally, she is the true definition of a creative solution in community and the work that she does will continue to be deeply impactful to rural people.
