On today's episode, we deal with a difficult subject: the loss of a baby. When this happens, many women do not know where to turn to or how to cope. Whether it's a miscarriage in the first trimester, a stillbirth in the 2nd or 3rd trimester, or even the loss in childbirth, this can be devastating. Today, a mom who lost her baby in labor tells us her story. It's our hope that by sharing her experience, other women (and families) that have gone through this might find some comfort and connection and hear an example of how hope and healing is possible again. And we all have been touched in our lives by someone who has experienced a loss like this. Her story will shed light on how to support someone you know that might be going through this.   Resources available for parents: The MISS Foundation: a volunteer based organization providing C.A.R.E.
