The Loss Mothers
It is with an open heart that we introduce The Loss Mothers to you.This project will unfold over the coming months to encompass a series of podcasts and a photographic essay that bring together the stories and experiences of mothers who have loved, lost and grieved the death of their child.Women from all walks of life are being asked to tell their story, to share their experience of motherhood, and how the death of their child has changed their world.We will explore the stories of mothers, young and old, who have lost babies, children and adult children. We will delve into the uniqueness of each woman’s experience while coming to understand that the bonds of shared grief create universal threads that echo through time.The aim of this project is to bear witness, gain insight, bring light and honour stories that help us to understand the complexity and depth of a mother’s grief.With loveBec and Caitlin

Rache & Jordan 14

This is the story of Rache and Jordan. Rache and Jordan are siblings. Jordan is Rache's big brother. They shared a happy, fun filled, at time cheeky childhood together. Their bond is unique, both Rache and Jordan were adopted at infancy- they have a deep understanding of each other and always had each others back. Jordan's life here on earth ended suddenly at age 26- a complication of diabetes and an underlying heart condition. The passing of Jordan forever changed the dynamic of Rache's family. Not only was Rache a sister grieving the loss of her brother and a daughter seeing her parents grieve the loss of their son- she was also a wife and mothers helping her family navigate the loss of Jordan.
