Thankful for You

I figured today was heavy for a lot of us so I asked Andrea, Terra's Mom, from episode 59 to hop on a quick recording with like 2 hours notice. I scrapped my whole plan for this week and just wanted a conversation that might be entertaining for those who may need it. We do cover baby death as we both had full term stillbirths and miss our babies tremendously but we have given ourselves "permission" to laugh if we need to. And we hope you can do the same. Take care of yourselves today, Mommas. Know we are always here for you...

We answer:

• How has your family reacted to your dark humor when it comes to baby loss?
• How do you cut out toxic people?
• How do you handle your partner who is so thankful you're alive but you really don't feel like you are?
• What's your coping vice?

We also talk about:

• Gratitude and Grief at the same time
• Holidays and having no expectations
• The expectations put on us
• Going to PTO meetings when grieving
• Explaining yourself for the way you are after loss
• Laughing as opposed to crying
• How much this is horrible but we are allowed to do this however we want
• Laughing is OK
