209. What Now? Hope & Help for Infant Loss

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

In this episode I’m sharing with you what I want every grieving mom who has experienced infant loss to know about grief and life after loss. For those who are listening who love a grieving mom and might not be as familiar we wanted to take a second and define infant loss – infant loss includes those whose babies within the first year of life. I pray the words I share with you today offer you hope. I pray they remind you that you are not alone.
