  • Ali Harris on baby loss and the importance of honouring grief

    Ali Harris on baby loss and the importance of honouring grief
    Sep 9 2025

    On this week's episode, Giovanna sits down with author Ali Harris for a deeply moving conversation about love, loss and finding hope through grief.


    Ali carried her third child, Poppy, for just under twenty-four weeks until the day she delivered her, knowing she had already died. She opens up to Gi about navigating this loss, and how she has channeled that pain, healing, and hope into writing.


    Her latest novel received countless rejections - “no one wants to read about baby loss'. But Ali was determined to create space for these stories in fiction, not only for the millions of women who know this grief firsthand, but also to help bring these experiences into the wider world of storytelling.


    Ali's new book, This Wasn’t Meant to Happen, is available from September 11th.
