Emily's first and only child Oliver died and was stillborn just 6 months ago at the time of this recording. The cause is still unknown. While she finds peace in not knowing, she does want to investigate further as she hopefully navigates pregnancy after loss in the near future.

Emily talks about what happened, the casualness of her care, knowing now what we didn't know then, and how she is prepping to try to have a living child someday.

She has a blog and Instagram @plannedandplanted that has helped her during her grief. She has been open with her followers about Oliver and her journey and has found that they have been receptive. She had to let her fear of being open about her grief journey go. Those that don't like it can unfollow. This unapologetic way of doing it works for her and I'm here for it!

Her perspective is one that I feel is simplified in a way that could help others when they are trying to navigate the early months after stillbirth.

Find her at @plannedandplanted and feel free to reach out!
