Parenting after loss is a journey. It’s important to make space for conflicting emotions. Don’t put pressure on yourself to feel that having another baby will resolve or put an end to the pain of a previous loss. It’s okay to feel happiness and sadness at the same time. Life may be moving on, but this doesn’t mean you have to let go of a previous loss.

In today’s episode we have Nkemka Egbudo back to share her journey of parenting after loss being a mom to a 1 year old.  We talk about what is like to honor your angel baby and earthly baby and the hopes she has as she parents her daughter but also acknowleding her loss.
