is so, so true. I gave birth during Melbourne’s 2nd lockdown.
I have to say that I’m glad you’re sharing this now, but I have been harbouring some discomfort for a while now following Mia’s comments during that lockdown last year. During an ep of mamamia outloud where Mia spoke with Monique Bowley, she essentially told Melbourne new Mums that they had no right to their grief because at least they were having healthy babies. As though, because someone else might have it worse than them, they themselves had no right to mourn their losses. I wonder if she feels differently now? Her words at the time really hurt me. It really made me personally shove my own feelings away in the fear they were selfish or self serving, and it ultimately just led to them becoming more painful in the long term.
I really am so thankful for my healthy beautiful baby girl and all the time we have had together, but the fact she hasn’t met her aunties, her cousins, and so many friends… the fact she only met her great grandfather once and so briefly before he died… it’s heart breaking…
