Sarah from episode 24 is back to chat with me about our experiences in this phase of loss life with a 4 month and 6 month old. This is uncharted territory for both of us and we have mutually felt that there is not much being said in the loss community about how challenging it is to have a living baby after loss. We want to tell you about what we've learned. While mine and Sarah's losses are very different, we share the same feelings about the trauma, joy, grief, challenges, and pain that occur when having a living baby after your first baby dies.\n\nWe navigated loss life after Brody and Nathanial died. Now we are navigating parenting their little siblings, Wolfy and Thomas. \n\nThis is NOT to scare or treat anyone. This is NOT complaining. We are also not speaking for everyone. This is us talking about our experiences in hopes we can help other mommas who are feeling the same way. Just shedding light on the normalcies having a living baby after loss include. \n\nWhat we discuss:\n\nThe less than ideal way the baby after loss arrives\nIt's not anything like we imagined\nWe prepped for PAL but not for when the baby is here.\nWe have the same experiences as other living baby parents do except ours has a layer of trauma \nEarly induction after loss\nRelationships with people who dropped off when our baby died but came back when we had a living one.\nBreastfeeding, pumping, feeding, formula, pain, etc\nTerror over joy\nGuilt for not hyper-focusing on our baby that died.\nThe definition of a \"good mother\"\nOut partners and what they are experiencing\nFinding space to talk about our baby that died.\nParenting a dead child while raising a living one\nWe cover a lot of things...\n\nFind Amy at @whenmybabydied and @totallythomaswilder\n\nSupport the podcast and shop the store!
