This is part 3 of our special 4 part series called: What is Motherhood. All month long we are talking about what motherhood means to the woman who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss. In this round table conversation I talk with five women, each with different types of loss from as recent as 6 months ago all the way to 35 years ago -- these women share honestly about their journey of loss, grief, and finding hope.

In this week’s episode, part 3 of our 4 part series, I ask my guests three questions:

  1. How has your loss shaped your motherhood?
  2. What challenges do you find in being a mom?
  3. What are some joys you experience in motherhood?

Their answers to those questions are incredibly insightful and challenging and hope-filled and honest.

If you missed part 1 or part 2 of this series, make sure to listen to those episodes first so you can get to know each of these women and their unique motherhood stories -- this series starts at episode 120 so just skip back a couple episodes to start from the beginning.

For more details about each of our guests and to get connected with them, visit themorning.com/motherhoodseries.

FREE WORKBOOK We created a workbook that goes along with this podcast series to give you an opportunity to answer these questions for yourself as you consider your own motherhood journey. No matter where you are in your grief journey this workbook will be a tangible way to help you find healing in a new way. To download that workbook head to themorning.com/motherhood.

 

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

We wanted to give you an important update about the podcast. For the last 122 episodes we have shown up weekly, and in some seasons we have shown up daily, to meet you in your grief, to walk alongside you, to bring you comfort, hope and reminders of joy. To remind you that you are not alone.

In order to continue to do those things and to serve you best, to continue creating resources, not just here on the podcast but on our blog, in our community and in our shop we have decided to move to a seasonal format. That means, moving forward we will have two seasons a year, a spring season, likely February thru May and a fall season, August thru November, taking a short break through the summer months, June and July and potentially December and January as well.

We are hopeful this decision will enable us to continue to create the most helpful and hope-filled resources for you possible . Our last episode of this season will be episode 123 which will air on May 27 but go ahead and mark your calendar for August 5, when the first episode of next season will air.

We are already so excited about what we have planned for next season. Some things you can look forward to when we are back August 5, a series on how to celebrate those special days such as birthdays, anniversaries, and due dates, a series about faith after loss -- we are bringing in experienced theologians for that series to ask all those faith based questions you may have been asking or have wanted to ask -- questions like did God cause this, could He have stopped it, Is God still good? Why does suffering exist? Is God powerful enough to heal my baby? Or did He just choose not to?. We will also bring back the series ‘What your grieving friend wants you to know’ as we continue to try and equip those who love someone who has experienced loss with the tools to love them best in this season.

As you can see we have a lot of really great content ahead so make sure you are subscribed to the podcast so you don’t miss a single one of those episodes!
