Simone’s story- bringing Margaux into the world.
This is by far the most heartfelt, beautiful and healing conversation I’ve ever had with a virtual stranger. Talking to Simone was a pleasure.
There is something about loss that unites women in a way that doesn’t even need to be spoken sometimes, but also talking can be just what we need. Simone and her daughter Margaux healed me in a way I didn’t know I needed to be healed. She has such wise words that instantly resonated with me and explained what I’ve been trying to express for the last 4 years.
I urge you to take the time to listen. You will leave the conversation uplifted! Thank you, Simone, for sharing Margaux's story.
Here is what Simone has to say. -
'A mom of soon to be 3, I’ve learned so much from each of my kids. Mostly about myself but also about life and unconditional love. This is Margaux’s story. My second child. Forever 40 weeks and 5 days old; born still on April 16 2018. As I approach her first birthday I thought sharing her birth story was the perfect way to mark the day. Talking about loss is one way I feel less lonely in grief, so thank you, Frannie, for creating a safe space to talk about all the hilarious, heartwarming and hard aspects of motherhood. And to my darling Margaux, thank you for teaching me that even in the darkest and hardest moments, there is beauty to be found💜'.
This week we also talk about @sherylsandberg’s amazing book @optionb ( although we refer to is as plan b- which has an entirely different meaning in the birthing world- so sorry for that error lol ) We both found this book a helpful, uplifting and insightful read during our journeys. @oprah also an episode on her podcast talking about the concept of the book with Sheryl all of which I have linked below.
