In todays Episode our host Mon speaks with Melbourne based Mumma Meagan Donaldson on her touching story of pregnancy loss, grief, resilience and navigating pregnancy & life after loss.
Meagan's beautiful daughter Violet was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition and was born still into the world. Meagan has continued to honour her legacy by founding the fundraiser Violet's Gift to help other families going through a similar experience. Meagan is also the author of Still a Mum: A story of modern grief and life after loss.
In this episode Meagan speaks openly about her experience with the aim to raise awareness surrounding pregnancy loss and provides us with education and insight into what this can look like. Meagan touches on life after loss and navigating falling pregnant again and the emotions surrounding this.
This episode is full of heartbreak but also highlights a Mothers love for their child and the resilience many women have, to overcome grief and loss.
We hope that this episode may help you feel not as alone.
