In this deeply heartfelt episode of Grief Is My New Hobby, Jen opens up about the unimaginable pain of losing her baby girl, Scarlett, at just three months old, right before Christmas. While grieving the loss of her daughter, Jen was also navigating life as a mother to twins, trying to stay grounded for them as her world shifted beneath her feet. 

Six months later, Jen found herself pregnant again with her baby boy, a new chapter filled with love, hope, and its own unique complexities. She shares how grief has not been a linear journey, but one that comes in waves, teaching her to hold space for sorrow and joy at the same time.

Join us as Jen bravely reflects on infant loss, motherhood after loss, and the strength it takes to keep moving forward when everything has changed. Her story is a powerful reminder that grief is a lifelong companion, one we learn to live with, one sea swim at a time, one day at a time.
