| 13 Oct 2024 | 16 Years of Remembrance: Melissa’s Journey With Grief and Honoring Her Daughter, Patricia | 00:14:28 | |
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care. Melissa’s daughter, Patricia, was born 16 years ago. Tragically, due to a cord accident, Patricia did not survive. Though it’s been 16 years, Melissa continues to not only remember, but celebrate her daughter’s life. In this episode, Melissa shares her journey of remembrance and grief and we discuss the importance of understanding that these heartbreaking situations are not your fault. Highlights from our conversation with Melissa:
Whether it’s been six months or 16 years since the loss of a child, grief can resurface on birthdays or even in everyday moments. You may catch yourself wondering “What would they be doing now?” or “What would they look like?” The grief is always there in some way, but hearing others’ stories can bring comfort and we hope Melissa’s story brings you that sense of understanding and connection. Quotes:“In the moment of holding her and spending a little bit of time with her, I tried to enjoy it, and it was good–I held it together pretty well after, until that night...” – Melissa (1:48) “I always had it in the back of my mind that, you know, something would go wrong, that it could happen again. And that was just always something that stayed with me.” – Melissa (9:12) Other Episodes You Might Appreciate:Support the Show:By donating $5 or $10, you'll be supporting the ongoing production of these stories.

| 22 Sep 2024 | “I Had Just Heard His Heartbeat”: A Mother’s Story of Stillbirth and Strength | 01:19:10 | |
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care. Hours after hearing her son’s strong heartbeat at a final checkup, Veronika received the devastating news that her sweet Benjamin had passed away. Looking back on her challenging pregnancy, Veronika shares the heartbreak of losing Benjamin at 40 weeks, with the cause of death unknown, and the impact it has had on her life. In this episode, Veronika opens up about her pregnancy, finding a new OB-GYN, and hearing Benjamin’s heartbeat only to be told he had passed. Highlights from our conversation with Veronika:
Veronika’s story is a reminder of the different ways each person grieves. Her story shines a light on the importance of self-compassion, community, and getting support from loved ones. Quotes:"She said, 'Mommy, I'm very sorry Benjamin didn't get to know you. You're a great mommy, and he didn't get to know how good you are.' And that was just the absolute sweetest thing." – Veronika (17:49) “I didn't scream or cry—I just shut down. I wanted to be left alone. I was really irritated by all the staff coming in, and, you know, you still had to deliver that baby, so you can't just get up and go home. You still have to go through all of that.” – Veronika Other Episodes You Might Appreciate:Support the Show:By donating $5 or $10, you'll be supporting the ongoing production of these stories.

| 08 Sep 2024 | How Stillbirth Strengthened Our Marriage: A Father’s Journey and Advice | 00:12:02 | |
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care. They say time heals all wounds, and for today’s guest, Scott, that’s been true. Although everyone’s journey through grief is different, as time passes, the process of healing can start. In this episode, Scott shares the story of losing his son, Benjamin, due to a single umbilical artery. Scott talks with Lee about how he and his family found support from a local pastor even though they weren’t from the area. He also opens up about the challenges that grief can bring to a marriage and the importance of leaning on each one another. Some highlights from our conversation with Scott:
While grief is personal, Scott highlights how it is also a shared human experience and we don’t have to compare our pain to anyone else’s. Grief may feel isolating at times, but with support and time, wounds do heal. Quotes:“What I realized in the moment since then is that I have to think about it in small pockets, you know? If I want to think about my son, I know that it's going to set the tone for the rest of the day.” — Scott (07:54) “Men like to bottle things up. And, you know, I had heard that there were some who had turned to suicide, which is unfortunate. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem." — Scott (10:40) Other Episodes You Might Appreciate:Support the Show:By donating $5 or $10, you'll be supporting the ongoing production of these stories.

| 06 Oct 2024 | She Had a Full Head of Dark Hair: A Mother’s Heartfelt Stillbirth Story | 00:38:28 | |
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care. Being a young mom of two is both beautiful and challenging. But when you become pregnant and experience constant morning sickness throughout the entire pregnancy––that adds another level of difficulty. In this episode, our guest, Melissa, shares the moments leading up to the birth of her baby girl, Patricia, who was stillborn at 36 weeks due to a pinched cord. Even though this happened over 16 years ago, Melissa’s love for Patricia has only grown, just like any mother’s love for her child. Highlights from our conversation with Melissa:
Melissa’s story is a powerful reminder of love, support, and the journey of healing and this conversation truly highlights the bond between a mother and her child and the resilience that comes in the face of unimaginable loss. Quotes:“They left me in the labor and delivery room, so it was like I was able to hear the other babies. And then that is when I, once everyone left, is when I started crying. They had to give me something to sleep because, you know, here are all the other babies, and I don’t have mine, and all I had was a stuffed animal.” – Melissa (31:07) “Even though I know it's not my fault, you know, I would think, like, what did I do wrong?” – Melissa (31:35) Other Episodes You Might Appreciate:Support the Show:By donating $5 or $10, you'll be supporting the ongoing production of these stories.

| 04 Aug 2024 | How Grief Is Like Sea Glass: A Brief Note on Loss and Healing | 00:09:08 | |
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care. In this episode, Winter and Lee reflect on how they navigate the grief and loss of their sweet baby boy, Brannan. They share an update on their healing journey, how they honored Brannan’s sixth birthday, and discuss how they continue to heal while keeping his memory alive. Lee also reads an essay he wrote about the forces that turn dangerous broken glass into something beautiful. Some highlights from this episode with Winter and Lee:
While the reminder of the loss of a child can be painful, it’s possible to find comfort in celebrating their life. How do you remember your child on their birthday? We’d love to hear your stories. Quotes:“It was nice and we didn't go over the top. [And nobody] I don't think we felt like we were guilting anybody to celebrate with us. And it was very well incorporated into what a birthday for a six year old would be like in our family.” – Lee and Winter (2:02) “This year was my son Brannan’s sixth birthday, and maybe for the first time, it was a very peaceful, calm day for me. It wasn't filled with hectic scheduling, trying to figure out how to get fundraising, or do service projects. It was a day of remembrance and a day of family.” – Lee (8:21) Support the Show:By donating $5 or $10, you'll be supporting the ongoing production of these stories.

| 23 Aug 2021 | Mom Jess tells the birth story and passing of her daughter Addelyn at 30 weeks due to fetal hydrops, hypoplastic left heart syndrome | 01:06:53 | |
Mom Jess recounts the birth story of her daughter Addy, from their planned pregnancy during the pandemic and her pregnancy being perfect until around 30 weeks. Jess tells about how she became more swollen and gained 22 lbs in 2 weeks, and one of her non-stress tests came back abnormal. They discovered that Addy had a severe case of hydrops, where there was a lot of fluid buildup in her body, and Jess also had developed Mirror Syndrome (mimics preeclampsia), where as Addy became sicker, so did Jess. Jess and her husband Patrick decide on a Caesarean section, since Jess was getting so sick, so Addy was born on October 8, 2020. Addy was later diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, where the left side of her heart stopped developing, as well as underdeveloped lungs, from either being too early or from the hydrops. Addelyn deteriorated within 8 hours of her birth and passed away peacefully, surrounded by her parents.

| 11 Oct 2021 | Mom Corchele Tells Birth Story and Death of Baby Breklyn Due to Chorioamnionitis at 39 Weeks | 00:48:37 | |
Mom Corchele describes getting pregnant with her fiance Mark and having an uneventful pregnancy with her daughter Breklyn. However, at 39 weeks, Corchele remembers feeling terrible and having a fever. When they go into the hospital, she tells how Breklyn was in distress, so they did an emergency C-section. They gave her ketamine, because the epidural/nerve block wasn't taking effect quickly enough. Breklyn was born, but had to be revived and kept on life support, since Corchele was sedated. Once Corchele awoke, she and Mark made the heartbreaking decision to take Breklyn off of life support. She passed away 10 hours later. The doctors concluded later that she like died due to an infection call chorioamnionitis that was missed during Corchele's intake at the hospital.
