Part One: Sarah Oliver is the creator of Amalie's Room, a business specialising in handmade accessories and gifts. Sarah created this instagram page in memory of her beautiful daughter who she sadly lost at 4 weeks old. In this epsisode, we speak to Sarah about her journey with infant loss, grief, infertiltiy and motherhood. Shes a wife, a daughter, a natural creative and most importantly, a mumma. Sarah reached out to us 2 months ago to thank us for our grief episode in season one, and we instantly connected over the weird and wonderful world of grief.
