Mother's Day series: Diana Greig Stavert

Her Story - Son Histoire à Elle

This week I sat down with the mother of all mothers, my mom, Diana Greig Stavert. Diana Greig Stavert has over 30 years of mothering experience and at 70 years old, sure has a story to tell. We went on a journey from learning how to produce maple syrup in her back yard in the 1950's to the challenges of being a working woman in the 60's and delivering babies as an outpost nurse in isolated communities in Northern Quebec, to being an 'older' mother in the 80's & 90's. This was an emotional episode for both of us as she tells us about her experience with miscarriage* and post partum depression. My mother is one of the most open hearted and generous women I know and I am proud to share Her Story with you. *some of this conversation may be triggering for some. Cet épisode se déroule en anglais seulement. Je vous promets que le prochain épisode sera bilingue!
