A belonging I longed for
Thank You Madeline, so much for The Rare Life. Your content touches more people than you may think. I am a mother of a medically complex child, though he does not have a rare diagnosis of any kind. I had a complicated pregnancy and traumatic birth with my son Vincent, who arrived unduly early at 25 weeks gestation. Due to his very early arrival, he has a laundry list of diagnoses. He’s now 17 months and I only recently saw “medically complex child” written in his medical record. Interestingly enough, it immediately made me think of The Rare Life and I scanned for an episode I could relate to and began to listen [once again]. Being the mother of a micro-Preemie has plenty of challenges, and while I know we’re extremely lucky that our son will grow out of most of those challenges; for the time being listening to other Momma’s of medically complex kiddos on your show has made me feel seen and heard in a way that I just haven’t found in my own community. Thank you for your thoughtful content and the time you take to find experts/personal stories that resonate so much for us Mommas of medically complex kiddos.

This podcast is one place that I have finally felt seen, hear, understood and supported. The topics are so relevant. Majority of the time I catch myself thinking oh it’s not only me other parents out there are dealing with the same thing.
