The thing I find myself most inspired by and passionate about is sharing the stories of women. So, while I'm definitely not "enthusiastic" about pregnancy loss, I am very fired up about making women feel less alone when they experience it. It's an honor, truly, to share these two stories. First, I spoke with my friend and neighbor, Lauren Koenig. She miscarried her baby at 10 weeks. I love how Lauren is so honest and raw about her experience.

Next, I talked with Maribeth Ayers Stickel about giving birth to a stillborn baby at 40 weeks and 2 days. It's a heartbreaking story, but Maribeth and her husband survived the unimaginable and are stronger than ever. I hope you'll learn as much as I did from these stories and share them with people who may be helped by hearing them.
