190. 10 Things to Know About Grief After Baby Loss: What I Wish Every Grieving Mom Knew with Ashlee Proffitt

The Joyful Mourning - A Podcast for Women Who Have Experienced Pregnancy or Infant Loss

In this episode I am sharing with you what I want every grieving mom to know about grief after the loss of a baby.

If we were sitting down for coffee and I could share with you what I have learned in the nearly 15 years since losing my infant son about grief and navigating this journey of life after loss, these are the things I would tell you.

I pray they offer you hope. I pray they remind you that you are not alone.

THIS EPISODE IS DEDICATED TO JACOB WALKER.

Today’s podcast is in honor of Meg Walker, and her son Jacob, on his birthday. Meg, your son has changed all of our lives. Thank you for the work you do and the care you give to this community of grieving women. We are better because of you and because of your son.

We celebrate Jacob and we remember him with you today and always.
