Lou Conran - How to Deal With a Termination for Medical Reasons & Cope With Loss When You Also Need to Work

Big Careers, Small Children

TW: TFMR
“Emma is very much part of the family, that was very important to me. I am a mother, I do have a child.”
Today we welcome critically acclaimed comedian, writer and performer, Lou Conran.
Lou had a termination for medical reasons (TFMR) after finding out her daughter Emma had a rare medical condition which meant she would be unable to survive.
She bravely shares her personal story, including how she dealt with needing to keep earning money (as a comedian) in the midst of this heartbreaking experience and how family, friends and colleagues can support you if you're going through baby loss.
For anyone who is going through a TFMR or dealing with baby loss, support can be found via www.tommys.org
Thank you Lou for this inspiring conversation.
