The Grief and Well Nurse Podcast

Episode 4 - Judgements (Babyloss Awareness Week)

This week on The Grief and Well Nurse Podcast I explore judgements that exists around Babyloss with examples that have been given to me by others and judgements I have faced myself. I explain why many of the things said are unhelpful and unneccessary. I also talk about the importance of Babyloss Awareness Week and the helpful things that have been said to me during my loss. I hope everyone has had a gentle Babyloss Awareness Week.

Episode 3 - Acceptance in Grief

In this weeks episode of The Grief and Well Nurse I talk a bit about Acceptance in Grief, what I've learnt acceptance to truly mean after loss and how the unsolicited advice and comments such as "move on" needs to stop in today's society. I also talk a bit about different cultural traditions that just make sense after loss, mentioning Dia de los muertas and All Souls Day. I would also love to know more about these traditions or any other spiritual /cultural traditions that really empower and enable healing in grief. *Note*: The Book I mention in this podcast is called "Empty Cradle, Broken Heart" written by Deborah L. Davis, Ph.D. Highly recommend it, it makes all the things we question after loss make sense!

Episode 2 - Anxiety & Trigger Warnings

In this weeks episode of The Grief and Well Nurse I chat about anxiety after loss, the importance of normalising our emotions, recognising a difference between experiencing anxiety and having an anxiety disorder and I share my unpopular opinion on Trigger Warnings based off my own experiences.. Please Note: If you're a Marvel Fan I do give a spoiler on the movie Thor Love and Thunder.

Episode 1 - My Grief Experience (Sophia's Story)

In this weeks episode I share my experience as a bereaved mother. I share my daughter Sophia's story and my grief experience. I speak about how my knowledge as a mental health nurse helped me in my journey, how I stood up to the stigma that comes with babyloss and how I learned the importance of self-validation.
