Nerida: Grandmother to Eden

In this heartfelt video, a grandmother shares the devastating experience of losing her granddaughter, Eden, to stillbirth.

Speaking from both her professional role as a maternity social worker and her personal role as a grieving grandparent, she reflects on the moment she got the call, the numbness and helplessness that followed, and how she tried to support her daughter through unimaginable pain.

She also explores how peer support, counseling, and rituals helped her begin to heal. This story offers profound insight into the often-overlooked grief of grandparents—and the strength it takes to keep showing up for your family.
