Episode 26 | The Space Between Goodbye & Hello with Elaine Nguyen

June 19, 2025 • Alexa Conlon • Episode 26

In this deeply personal episode, we sit down with Elaine, Founder of ATX Loss Mama & a mother whose world changed with the stillbirth of her baby — and whose life has since been shaped by grief, hope, and love in all its forms.

She shares the story of navigating a pregnancy after loss, parenting her living children while carrying the weight of the one who is missing, and learning to grieve side by side with her husband as they each process loss in their own way.

Together, we explore:

The quiet trauma of stillbirth and the early days of grief
What it’s really like to be pregnant after loss — the fear, the guilt, and the love
How parenting after loss reshapes your heart, your home, and your relationships
The invisible layers of long-term grief and how couples grow, clash, and carry on

This episode is for anyone who’s lost a baby, walked through the unknowns of pregnancy after loss, or tried to rebuild life with grief as a constant companion. It’s a story of heartbreak, healing, and the enduring love of a family that holds space for all of its children — both here and gone.
