Born in the Golden Hour: A Mother's Stillbirth Journey
Manage episode 422639080 series 3307579
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care.
After struggling with infertility for 18 months and finally conceiving naturally, Ari talks about the "sweet and tender moment" of their first prenatal appointment. Everything seemed to be progressing well until sadly, their son, Kai, was stillborn at 30 weeks.
In this episode, Ari and Winter reflect on the process of grief, the support from loved ones, and how Ari navigated their heartbreaking loss.
Some highlights from our conversation with Ari include:
The emotional experience of delivering Kai naturally and trying to remain present during a tragic moment
Cherishing the moments spent with Kai after his death
The gentle guidance provided by supportive professionals and a social worker during a difficult time
The grieving process and how to cope with such a profound loss
Exploring options for post-mortem care, including cremation and burial
Ari’s journey through the loss of her son, Kai, is a powerful reminder of the importance of honoring the memory of our loved ones. We hope this episode offers comfort and guidance as you navigate life after loss, find support, and take the time to grieve, heal, and cherish the moments we have.
Quotes:“My heart just sunk. And it was just like, such disbelief. And immediately I was just beating myself up for not having gone in earlier and just flooded with questions of like, ‘How long ago did he pass?’ And then also, just feeling like, you have disbelief that like, no, like, this can't be real.” – Ari (47:44)
“Regardless of, you know, the outcome of this pregnancy and this baby's death, like, he’s a part of our family––we're always gonna love him.’” – Ari (1:06:35)
