When you first lose your baby, it can feel impossible to imagine a time when grief won’t dominate every waking moment. The early days are often raw, overwhelming, and full of uncertainty about how life will ever feel bearable again.In this episode, Matt and Liam take a step back and reflect on their own journeys of grief. They talk openly about how things felt in the beginning – the intensity, the shock, and the misconceptions they had about what grief would look like. They share how their experiences have evolved over the years, what has shifted and softened, and the moments that made them realise grief was taking a different shape.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is that their experiences of looking back and looking forward are very different. This contrast creates an honest, thought-provoking discussion that highlights just how individual the grief journey is.This episode also explores how being bereaved dads has shaped their identities, their relationships, and their ongoing sense of fatherhood. They discuss what it means to carry their children with them today, and how remembrance continues to play a role as they look ahead to the future.It’s an honest and heartfelt discussion that will resonate with anyone navigating baby loss, whether you’re right at the start of the journey or many years further down the line.Please remember to subscribe or follow the podcast so it lands in your inbox as soon as a new episode drops.
