🎧 You get early (and ad free!) access to my conversation with Dr. Abigail Jorgensen
I hope your Easter celebrations are going beautifully! If you’re a paid subscriber to this newsletter, you get early and ad free access to episodes of my podcast, Letters to Women. Instead of waiting for the episodes to come out every other week, you get to press play as soon as I finish editing.
A huge thank you for your support that make it possible for me to do a bit of podcast editing today before running off to preschool pickup lines, park playdates, and the Chick-fil-A drive through. It’s a total gift and privilege to be able to work doing what I love.
Today, I’m sending you access to an episode that won’t release until Tuesday, “A Letter to the Mother Grieving Her Baby Who Died ” featuring Dr. Abigail Jorgensen, a birth and bereavement doula, childbirth educator, and professor of sociology and health care ethics.
In this fifth episode of the Letters to Mothers season, we’re talking about mothering our babies who we’ve lost in miscarriage, still birth, and infant loss. Losing a child is heartbreaking and devastating. For mothers who lose a child before or shortly after birth, this grief comes with distinct, sudden, and difficult questions about God, the Church, and who they are now as parents to the child they have lost.
If you’re looking for a companion and guide through those har medical, theological, and practical questions, whether you’re a mother who has lost her baby or you’re a friend, family member, or medical professional who supports parents through that loss, this letter is for you.
