About this episode

Finn shares his experience of a termination for medical reasons and discusses the emotional impact of grief on relationships.

In episode twelve of Marathons for Miracles, Olly is joined by Finn, who will be running the next leg of the challenge this Saturday 21st March. Finn shares his and his partner’s experience of a termination for medical reasons (TFMR), following a devastating diagnosis during pregnancy. He speaks openly about the shock of that news and the emotional weight of the decision. They discuss how grief is experienced as a couple, the importance of communication and support, and how loss can impact relationships in different ways. Finn reflects on the lasting emotional impact of TFMR, and the challenge of processing something that is often misunderstood or rarely spoken about. The episode also looks ahead to the upcoming route starting at The Rosie Hospital, through Cherry Hinton, up to Fen Ditton, and down to Granchester. 👉 Follow the journey and support the cause at marathonsformiracles.com All episodes contain sensitive discussions around pregnancy loss and grief.
