A Mother s Life After Losing Her Child
There is a kind of grief that changes the way you see motherhood forever.
For Hayya Lee-McDonald, motherhood came with a pain no mother should have to carry — losing her babies, and then having to face loss again.
Imagine loving, carrying, hoping, preparing, and imagining a future with your child… only to have that future taken away.
Then imagine trying to find your way back to yourself.
And then having to do it again.
Hayya's story is not simply about losing children. It is about what repeated loss can do to a mother's heart, her identity, her sense of safety, and her understanding of what comes next.
There are moments when the world expects you to keep moving because life keeps moving. People go back to work. Families celebrate birthdays. Holidays come around. Conversations continue. But a mother can still be carrying a loss that nobody else can see.
And sometimes the hardest question isn't “How do I get over this?”
It's “How do I live with this?”
Hayya shares what it has meant to become a mother, lose her babies, experience the heartbreak of loss more than once, and still find a way to wake up and continue living.
Because you don't simply “get over” losing a child.
You learn how to carry the love.
You learn how to carry the memories.
You learn how to carry the questions that may never have answers.
And somewhere along the way, you have to figure out how to carry yourself too.
This episode is a reminder that grief doesn't always look like tears. Sometimes it looks like strength. Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like laughing again and feeling guilty for laughing. Sometimes it looks like building a life while a piece of your heart remains connected to the lives you lost.
Hayya's story gives us space to acknowledge something we don't talk about enough:
A mother can be grieving and still be living.
She can be brokenhearted and still have hope.
She can remember and still move forward.
She can love the children she lost and still choose to live.
This is Hayya's story of motherhood, loss, survival, and learning what life looks like after everything you thought motherhood was supposed to be has changed.
Because the question isn't whether she will ever forget.
The question is what happens next.
You heard the story. Now let's talk about what to DO with it.
