About this listen

In this short but heartfelt episode, Helena and Chelsey reflect on the complexities of Mother’s Day for those grieving whether it’s the loss of a mother or the loss of a child. While both hosts feel a certain detachment from the day, they acknowledge the ways it can feel alienating, especially when the world seems to celebrate it so loudly.

Together, they think out loud about how Mother’s Day could be more inclusive, recognising those who feel like “half a mum” and those who would rather avoid it all together. Though neither of them fully connects with the day, they believe it’s because it’s impossible to ignore.

A little message is left for the Mother's with no Earthside babies, a side hardly spoken about but one that needs acknowledged. Mother's without Earthside children need 10x more attention.
