    Hello, Goodbye

    Hello, Goodbye

    We're back from our break to say... we're not coming back (yet).

    Alina is not doing well, and because she mainly edits the podcast, that means that we can't keep releasing new episodes right now. That's okay! We'll be back when we're ready.

    Content note: Judith is pregnant, and (barely) announces in this episode.

    Things we talk about in this episode:

    - What a Shame She's F****d in the Head sweatshirt (Etsy)

    - ALAIL | Happy For You, Sad For Me (On Pregnancy Announcements)

Helpful to expand emotional intelligence for everyone

This podcast is so enlightening and informative. Judith, Alina, Aidan, Quinn and all of the guests that have come into this space of grief all have had an important message and an impact. While I haven’t been touched by infant loss personally, understanding what it’s like to walk through grief has made me a better friend.

Like chatting w a friend

Listening to this podcast is such a unique experience, it’s like chatting with your friend about the inner workings of your own grief filled brain, and they actually understand. Which if you know grief, that is so far from normal. Alina & Judith open up parts of their lives that are so relatable as a loss mom. And so eye opening to those who haven’t experienced loss. I’m so glad (and sad) I’ve found this corner of the internet that has nurtured me through the hardest experience of my life.

Love this podcast

I lost my infant son unexpectedly this past January and have really been struggling with his loss in so many ways. I recently found this podcast and am so glad I did, every single episode hits home. I’ve laughed, cried, and felt so seen by the hosts while listening. It’s such a comfort to listen to them and feel less alone.
