Episode 4 – AnneMarie Gillooley
Today, we welcome AnneMarie, Max’s mam to the podcast. AnneMarie shares the overwhelming disbelief and denial she felt when she heard the devastating words that Max had no heartbeat. And yet, when beautiful Max arrived the room quickly filled with love, and pride, and tenderness. In this conversation, AnneMarie speaks about the advocacy work she now does in Max’s name and in his honour. She also opens up about pregnancy after loss when innocence is gone, fear is louder, and love is carried alongside heartbreak.
We recognise that these conversations can be difficult. We invite you to listen gently and to mind yourself and your heart. If listening brings up strong emotions, please remember you are not alone, and support is available through Féileacáin in whatever way feels right for you.
