Katie and I talk about her beautiful daughter Makenna, who was born early and lived for 4 days in the NICU.  Katie discusses very openly her experiences with her birth and the days to follow.  She is feisty as hell, and I love how open she is about her grief and the ways she honors Makenna.

We talk a lot in this podcast.  Everything from the love for our babies, to poor treatment from doctors, to grief and even fake online Loss Moms (yes that's a thing)...

Words will never be enough to explain the love I have for my daughter. Makenna dying didn't stop me from being her mom and loving her just as any other parent would love their child. She is my light.

Katie created Rainbows for Makenna.  A non-profit that provides comfort boxes for parents suffering loss. You can shop here: https://www.rainbowsformakenna.com/

NOTE: These are MY thoughts, experiences and opinions.  By no means am I telling anyone what to do, what's right or wrong, or how to handle grief or trauma.  I am not a doctor or a therapist.  Im just a loss mom giving you a front row seat as to what I've experienced.

This is my real life, and I'm putting it out there so you feel less alone.
