63: Mary Matt's Unforgettable Journey: Carrying Her Stillborn Baby Until the Miraculous Birth of His Twin
Manage episode 417320680 series 3365992
I can never get enough of hearing other loss mom's stories and I love bringing their lives into the room because each one is so special and unique. Mary Matt bravely shares her incredible story of the birth of her twinless twin and how she carried him for many weeks knowing she would say hello and goodbye at the same time she welcomed his living brother.
Listen as she recounts what the experience was like finding out the news and how she and her husband dealt with the reality of their situation and told their older child.
Mary and her husband have been married for ten years and have five children with four boys between us. She navigated secondary infertility, a miscarriage, and a chemical pregnancy as well as the stillbirth of one of their twins, Maverick. They are almost 11 months from the date they learned Maverick died and seven months later said hello to Erixon and see you later to Maverick.
They are learning to pivot and shift in this life after loss as they lean into each other and provide stability and love to Maverick's grieving siblings.
