**THIS EPISODE CONTAINS TOPICS THAT MIGHT MAY BE SENSITIVE TO SOME**


October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. This episode is for all the parents whom are still coping, or learning to cope during this difficult time. Our hearts are with you.


In this deeply emotional and raw episode, we bring together three women who share their heart-wrenching experiences of losing a child at different stages of life.


One guest speaks about the agonising decision to terminate her pregnancy in the second trimester due to a chromosomal abnormality, another recounts the pain of having a stillbirth at 30 weeks, and the third shares her story of losing her six-year-old son to the Swine flu pandemic 15 years ago.

These courageous women open up about how their losses impacted them, the overwhelming grief they endured, and the complex emotions they faced in the aftermath.


They delve into the challenges of meeting people who may not know their story, the struggle of finding the right words, and how they coped with the silence, questions, and assumptions that often follow such a profound loss.

"Coping with Child Loss" offers a safe space for those who have experienced similar tragedies, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone.


This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of sharing our stories, and the healing that comes from being seen, heard, and understood.
