In the second of a two part conversation - Layna O'Connor continues with us to talk about loss and grief and the reality of caring for a child with unique needs and chronic illness. Layna's daughter was diagnosed with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency (PDCD) early on in her first year of life. Layna shares the journey of learning and grieving and advocating in a remarkable way. In this episode we lean into advocacy and compassion for those who don't "understand" what it is like to love a chronically ill child.

⁠Here's a link to the PDCP group that Layna is a part of.
