Crystal’s daughter, Sienna Grace, was born just two days before my son, Brody. We connected through shared passion around advocacy for better medical and bereavement care. In this episode, we chat about Sienna’s shocking death during delivery after a healthy pregnancy, and how Crystal and her husband navigate life after loss. Crystal shares the long, painful journey of infertility that finally brought Sienna Grace into their life and how this precious baby girl continues to make an impact.

We dive into talking about personality traits, signs from our babies, setting boundaries, and even our faith in the midst of tragedy. Crystal also shares about the nonprofit organization, Weighted Angels, which helped bring her hope as she left the hospital without her baby. She is now a board member and serves as Secretary and Head of Volunteers for the organization in Virginia.

Crystal also discusses how people have shown support following her daughter’s death and how others can learn to show love to a loss mama too.
