Description
Tomorrow we are joined by Katherine’s dear friend Rhiannon Holmes. We have never recorded an episode like this and it requires a trigger warning** Rhiannon shares her real life heart-wrenching grief and story around loosing her beautiful boy Stevie at 38weeks and 6days pregnant. Rhiannon shares so openly about her grief and trauma surrounding her stillbirth to Stevie. This is honestly the most raw and real episode we have ever recorded through many tears and emotions hearing Rhiannon’s journey navigating life without her beautiful boy. We touch on: ⁃ Rhiannon’s pregnancy and birth story. ⁃ The what if’s, the why’s, the answered questions around Stevie’s death. ⁃ How to comfort a bereaved mother and family. ⁃ How to introduce Stevie to his siblings and the language used around his death. ⁃ Tools to support someone in grief and the things to say and to NOT say. ⁃ How Rhiannon’s world is without her beautiful boy and how she has managed to keep going on through the pain and heartbreak. We can’t thank Rhiannon enough for sharing her story with us and educating us around a topic that is extremely sensitive and unimaginable. There is support and groups mentioned in this episode to support families experiencing the same grief as Rhiannon. Please always know our DMs are open and Rhiannon’s. Rhiannon hopes sharing her story can help other’s experiencing her grief. Support groups: Still Birth Foundation Bears of Hope
