On October 15, Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we are making space for a conversation that deserves to be heard.

In this deeply personal episode of The Green Thread Podcast, we explore stillbirth, the unseen weight of grief, the lasting reality of motherhood after loss, and why remembering our babies matters.

For me, this day is also my son's fourth birthday. I'm sharing this conversation on a day that holds both profound love and profound loss, in honor of him and every family who knows what it means to carry a child in their heart while learning to navigate life without them physically here.

We talk about the loneliness that can follow pregnancy loss, the importance of acknowledging a baby's existence, the complicated emotions surrounding birthdays and anniversaries, and the ways we can support bereaved parents without expecting them to move on or find a silver lining.

There is no timeline for grief. There is no requirement to be strong. And there is no expiration date on a parent's love.

Whether you've experienced a loss yourself or want to better understand someone who has, this episode is an invitation to listen with compassion.

For every baby remembered. For every parent still carrying the love. You are not forgotten.
