The online Glimmer program’s beloved specialist bereavement midwife and fellow warrior Mum Liana Quinlivan joins this episode of The Glimmer Podcast to talk about putting the jigsaw of your life back together after baby loss. Liana runs the online Glimmer Program groups and has been a midwife for 15 years. Caitlin Crowley interviews Liana in this heartfelt episode of the Glimmer podcast.
After Liana’s baby ‘Dot’ died due to a skeletal malformation disorder, she felt like everything in her life had being shattered. There was so much disbelief. Liana speaks of the irony of “being the bereavement midwife with the dead baby” and feeling the need to hide from that identity. She explains the mixture of pride, love and awe of Dot and the powerful connection she shared with her.
She talks about wanting to fast forward those early days and struggling to let go of Dot while tyring to maintain a connection.
