2022 statistics from the National Institutes of Health mirror findings of an investigation by ProPublica into the U.S. stillbirth crisis in which more than 20,000 pregnancies every year are lost at 20 weeks or more with the baby being born dead.
As the news anchor for the local NBC affiliate in Columbus, Ohio, Jenn’s pregnancy was celebrated and followed in a very public manner. But on October 11, 2021 tragedy struck when her beautiful son, Miles Owen, was stillborn at 33 weeks with little warning. Listen as Jenn shares her story of unspeakable loss and brokenness, finding herself in a very dark debilitating place, and how, through GOD’s kindness and grace, along with the love and support of her family eventually emerged from the ashes to rediscover hope, meaning and purpose. Learn how she and her family are letting GOD use their suffering to bring about much needed reforms within the healthcare system as it relates to the care of parents with stillborn babies by partnering with hospitals as well as state and local legislatures through Miles’ Mission, a non-profit they founded in 2023.
