   In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined by Elle Margetson, a mama whose story is one of unimaginable loss, resilience, and hope. Elle is the mother of four beautiful babies—her triplets, Noah, Eden, and Hudson, who tragically passed away after their premature births at 23+2 and 23+6 weeks, and her rainbow baby boy, Sonny, born in 2023.

We talk about: Elle’s journey through the devastating loss of her triplets The specific challenges and emotions that come with losing multiples Finding ways to honour your babies and keep their memory alive How becoming a therapist for loss mamas has been part of her healing The arrival of her rainbow baby, Sonny, and the complex emotions that followed This conversation is for every mama who feels alone in her grief, especially those who’ve experienced the loss of more than one baby at once.

   Episode 5: Real, Raw, and Beautiful: A Conversation Between Bereaved Mothers

   Hey mama. It’s me,  Kaitlin. In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Mayfield for an open-hearted conversation about motherhood, loss, and the journey of grief. Together, we share the raw, unfiltered realities of life after loss—the pain, the love, and the resilience it takes to keep going. This is not just a discussion about grief; it’s about honoring our children, embracing healing, and finding beauty in the brokenness. If you’ve experienced loss or know someone who has, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone. There is space for your grief, your love, and your healing. Tune in for a deeply personal and powerful conversation. A little bit about Sarah: Sarah struggled to find informed grief services for her son, Bradley, after the death of his brother, Elliot. Today, Sarah’s passion is supporting bereaved youth and families while promoting grief awareness. Sarah is a Compassionate Bereavement Care™ Certified Provider, is Certified in Thanatology (Association for Death Education and Counseling), and has been a Nationally Certified Counselor since 2007. She earned both a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Counselor Education from the University of Virginia. In her previous nine years as an elementary school counselor, Sarah loved reading picture books aloud to classes on the carpet. It was through the students’ reactions to these books that she discovered a passion for an earnest message packaged in a confident, rewarding rhythm. Sarah's debut book, This Sure Thing, is her family's passion project for bolstering awareness of childhood grief as well as the importance of continuing bonds with loved ones after death. Sarah finds joy in upcycling forsaken furniture, getting lost in the plants (and weeds) of her yard, dancing unapologetically in the kitchen with her husband and kids, and remembering the motto, “Love never fails.” Connect with Sarah Website-- livethatlove.com Linkedin--https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-mayfield-med-ncc-ct-206633247/ Facebook--https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100073560866174&mibextid=LQQJ4d Connect with Me E-mail: griefinmotherhood@gmail.com Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/griefinmotherhood Instagram @grief.in.motherhood YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@griefinmotherhood Resources https://forgetmenotbaskets.com/ https://www.instagram.com/givingmeiracles/ https://www.instagram.com/grief.in.motherhood/ https://pregnancyafterlosssupport.org/ https://www.measuretheplacenta.org/

    Healing Through Shared Stories

    Hey mama. It’s me, Kaitlin. Today I am joined by my friend and fellow loss mama, Tina Kittle. Tina is graciously sharing her story of navigating the loss of her sweet baby Noah and the complexity of pregnancy after that loss. We can resonate with her journey through loss, learning to have grace with herself and finding hope and faith in it all. While grieving the loss of our children is not something we want to have in common, it is something that connects us. Grief can often be isolating, but when we come together and share our stories, healing and hope can be found. Join me as we remember our babies, share our stories and our resources, and hold space for each other as we walk this road together. Sending you all light and love.
