Ep. 144: NICU Loss, Subsequent Birth & the Deafening Silence of Grief feat. Nandi


Listen Later

On this week’s episode, we welcome Nandi as she bravely shares her story of love, loss, and healing. Nandi opens up about her first pregnancy with her son, Kiran Jude, whose life was tragically cut short by a brain bleed just three days after birth in the NICU. She also reflects on the birth of her daughter, a journey that resulted in an emergency C-section and a hysterectomy due to her blood disorder, Factor VII Deficiency. With courage and vulnerability, Nandi speaks about navigating the depths of grief, the deafening silence that accompanies it, and the ways she continues to heal, by lovingly speaking Kiran Jude’s name and honoring his memory every day.
