I Love To Share Her Story And Not Feel So Alone | Advice From A Mother Of Loss

About this episode

Winter and Kelli discuss coping with the loss of a child and the support from other mothers who have experienced similar losses.

Winter and Kelli talk about what has helped since the passing of Oakley, who lived for 3 hours after birth. Kelli talks about the wonderful women who had also lost children, that were able to help guide her and comfort her. Kelli talks about finding purpose in pumping her milk and donating it to a local milk bank. Kelli reads a letter she wrote to Oakley.
