When Lauren and her husband Jack lost their baby, Rupert, their world changed forever. In the days, weeks, and years that followed, they were met with an outpouring of support, but also well-meaning comments that often missed the mark.

In this episode of Still Parents, Lauren shares the story of Rupert, the reality of living with baby loss, and how unhelpful advice can compound grief. We explore what it means to navigate stillbirth and bereavement as a couple, how relationships are affected, and why there is no 'right' way to grieve.

This conversation is an honest look at grief after baby loss, and a gentle guide for anyone wanting to better support someone through it.

In this episode:

The emotional reality of losing a baby
Grief after stillbirth and how it evolves over time
The impact of well-meaning but unhelpful comments
Navigating loss as a couple
What to say (and what not to say) to grieving parents

If you’ve experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss — or want to support someone who has, this episode offers insight, honesty, and compassion.
