Podcasts

for Bereaved Parents

These are all podcasts that my husband and I have personally found to be helpful during our grief journey. The links all go to Spotify, but the podcasts are available on whatever platform you use to listen to podcasts. I am agnostic so too much talk of god can be off putting to me and I know many other loss parents feel the same. Know that I will specifically mention if there is a lot of talk about god in the podcast.

At a Total Loss

This podcast has been really helpful for me. The host Katherine is like your fun girlfriend who gets what you're going through. The episode with Dr Jason Collins is really hard to listen to if your baby died from a cord accident (like Genevieve), but I'm also glad I listened to it. Katherine is Christian, but most episodes have minimal to no mention of god.

Guys and Grief

My husband has really found this podcast helpful. The hosts have a variety of loss backgrounds including stillbirth and infant loss.

Guys and GriefPodcast · Guys and Grief · Guys and Grief is geared toward fathers that have experienced pregnancy or infant loss. The Podcast is meant to provide a platform to talk about the under-resourced, and often undiscussed, perspective of men that have experienced child loss. Created by 3 close friends - Brad who experienced multiple pregnancy losses, Brandon who lost a child to stillbirth, and Brian who lost a child to SIDS - the guys share stories and challenges, as well as laughs and a few tears, as they navigate helping men honor their children, deal with grief, support their family, and try find better days ahead.

All There Is

I love this podcast that is about grief in general. Season 2 episode 3 is specifically about pregnancy and child loss. Depending on who the guest is there may be a bit of talk about god.

All There Is with Anderson CooperPodcast · CNN · Grief can feel so lonely but talking about it, and listening to others share their grief experiences helps.

Navigating Baby Loss

Jennifer Senn is a life coach and loss mom. The podcast episodes are often shorter than my other podcasts recommendations which can be nice if you have limited time to listen. There are lots of great topics and she has some free resources on her webpage. You can also get coaching from her.

Navigating Baby Loss will give you inspiration and hope from hearing others' stories and Jennifer will share valuable information about how you can ease your pain with the things that are hardest to cope with in the months and years following your stillbirth loss.

Mum, Interrupted

Two Australian best friends discuss their interrupted mother journeys and interview others. One of the hosts had a stillbirth and the other host's baby survived after a stay in NICU.

Mum, InterruptedPodcast · Mum Interrupted · At Mum, Interrupted, we're here to validate parenting journeys that have been interrupted by life's unexpected tragedies. Our goal is to stand with interrupted parents through their loss, grief, sickness, heartache, and any challenges in pregnancy, birth, and parenting that have left your arms feeling empty. But it's not just about the hardships; we're all about celebrating the resilience and hope emerging from these non-traditional paths. Join us as we set aside the 'perfect parent' narrative, embracing beautifully imperfect journeys that can change our lives, but don't define who we are.

Joyful Mourning

I liked parts of what she had to say, but she talked about God too much for me as a nonbeliever. If you are Christian than this podcast would be a great choice for you.
