Finding out your baby had a life-altering stroke in utero brings shock, heartache, and a whole lot of guilt. But when the medical trauma keeps coming after that initial diagnosis, year after year, hospital visit after hospital visit, there’s rarely time to work through all of those complicated feelings.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In Ep 152 of The Rare Life, Stephanie Stanley shares her story of navigating guilt, fear, and her new normal after discovering that her son Payton had a stroke in utero. Stephanie speaks to the journey so many of us have been on and are still on, as we attempt to process the medical trauma we’ve endured with our children, while never really getting a break from it.
