We Need to Talk About Pregnancy Loss: Forget Me Not
Manage episode 380376202 series 3311139
Today's episode will be one that no one wants to have to talk about but it is the side of labor and delivery that is not happy smiles and laughter.
Labor and delivery nurses have the most incredible job in the world. We have the honor of standing in the presence of your family's most wonderful moment in history, the birth of a family member.
But there is a side to birth that many do not talk about, which has to be honored because many parents experience it, and that is the loss of their little one.
This episode is dedicated to the many babies who are born sleeping, and as I write this, I am crying because my entire life has been affected by the loss of a newborn.
My sister, Michelle, came into this world sleeping, forever changing my mother's heart. In 2013, amidst the turmoil of experiencing the first of three miscarriages, my niece brought her daughter, Alivia, into the world, asleep forever in the arms of Jesus.
Grief has left an indescribable mark on my family, touching us in ways words fail to capture.
Today's guest is sharing how she is impacting the world of newborn loss and educating those who care for the ones who have been devastated. Listen as we chat about the other side of birth.
