Madeleine & Anabelle, Stacey & Sonny, Emma & Luna

This is the stories of  Madeleine & Anabelle Stacey & Sonny Emma & Luna  You will hear from three special Mums sharing and speaking about their babies. Sadly these mums were forced to say goodbye to their babies in a very difficult way, in a way that no parent wishes to be confronted with- Termination for Medical Reasons – often seen in text as TFMR.  We present this episode in a different way than previous episodes. The reason for this is we wanted to highlight that no one is alone in this journey, there is a community of women and families, and this is something that many families face everyday in Australia. By having these three Mums share their babies you will hear the highlighted that each families experience with TFMR is uniquely different, but they are united in their heartache of facing such circumstances, their grief, and the lasting love they have for their precious children.  Special thanks to our guests: Madeleine, Stacey & Emma  Episode sponsor: Luna Essential Soul Therapies  www.lunasoultherapies.com @luna_soultherapies  Let's Talk About Grief Cards can be purchased at  www.thelossmothers.com/lmstore
