This week on of podcast I had the privilege of chatting to father of 3, Matt Mcconnell. Matt tells the story of his daughter Wren who tragically lost her life just 8 days after birth, Matt's story is absolutely gut wrenching however his openness and vulnerability is something I have so much admiration for. After the loss of Wren, Matt selflessly created a space for dad to seek support and help through the struggles that can be so overwhelming when dealing with something that is often not openly spoken about, that being the loss of a child. Matt's work with Love From Dad and Red Nose has created a space for dads to connect with other fathers that have experienced loss to gain support and most importantly know they're not alone. As emotional as this conversation was, the way in which Matt has dedicated himself to helping others in the same situation speaks volumes of him as a person.
