Helena's beloved daughter, Maila, was born still at 36 weeks and 5 days on December 29th, 2022 despite being in "perfect health" during her pregnancy.  She is the inspiration behind creating personalized baby loss keepsake books because babies like Maila deserve to be remembered. Maila’s Presents are thoughtful baby loss gifts, offering bereaved parents a tangible way to honor their precious children and keep their memories alive within their families for generations. If you are searching for meaningful baby loss keepsake gifts, Maila’s Presents provide a beautiful and heartfelt way to commemorate the lives of babies gone too soon.

This episode is very raw and real. We talk a lot of truths about what happens when we lose our babies.  Helena is courageous and such an inspiration. If you are looking for a sign to create something for your baby, this is it.
