Regrets

07/29/23 • 40 min

The dads are back with an episode requested by one of their listeners, all about regrets following baby loss. It's hard to go through what we all have without thinking back to decisions we made or things we wished we'd done differently.

For this episode, Liam & Matt try and recognise some of the classic regrets people will face and also delve a little into a few of their own. As ever, the podcast is here to be supportive and a toolkit following a loss. So, the dads have spent some time thinking about when those regrets do become all-encompassing - how you can find your way out.

Pretty early on in the episode 🤣 they also get a touch hyped up about being shortlisted for the #BritishPodcastAwards. In the Parenting Podcast of the Year category. Details about the awards can be found here.

Previous Episode

Social Media

It can be a force for good, it can bring you to your knees; and that’s just with a swipe of your finger. Browsing, posting, commenting or liking content on social media after loss can bring up the full range of emotions.

In this episode the dads discuss the pros and cons of social media. From it being a tool to build a community and find an empathetic ear; to the triggering and emotional onslaught of seeing baby related posts.

They also share advice on how to handle those difficult emotional reactions to posts and discuss their own experiences with social media - the positive, the negative, the public, and the private.

Joining the dads this week are contributions from three listeners: Seth, Mike, and Brian. Thank you all so much for being a part of the show.

Social media will impact your journey with grief in different ways at different stages. Just remember to take care of yourselves.
