The Story of Claire (Rebroadcast)
Although Claire’s medical condition has many characteristics, for Katie and her husband they all pale in comparison to the heart-shattering fact that it is terminal.
In this episode, we laugh and we cry as mom Katie shares all about her adrenaline-junky four-year-old daughter Claire, her pregnancy and birth story, and the
gut-wrenching moments of learning that their precious newborn would not survive childhood.
She also shares ways that she has become a stronger, more gratitude-filled and empathetic person because of Claire and the lethal nature of her diagnosis.
Trigger warning concerning childhood death.
