Episode 11: Love Beyond Loss: Navigating Life After Losing Triplets

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. Elle shares the raw truth of what it’s like to lose multiples, the unique layers of grief that come with that experience, and the loneliness she felt when she realised there was little support for loss mamas walking this path. Drawing on her background in mental health, Elle became a therapist for grieving mothers around the world—turning her pain into purpose. 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. Elle’s courage in sharing her story is a reminder that even in the deepest heartbreak, there can still be moments of connection, purpose, and healing.   Connect with Elle: Instagram: @ellemargetsonhypnotherapy [https://www.instagram.com/ellemargetsonhypnotherapy]
