Manage episode 419013896 series 3307579
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses infant loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth. Please listen with care.
Life for Kaileigh changed drastically since the loss of her daughter, Melody, who tragically passed in utero at 21 weeks and 5 days.
In this episode, Kaileigh reflects on the support she received from family and friends and shares a heartfelt poem she wrote for her sweet baby girl, Melody.
Some highlights from our conversation with Kaileigh include:
Feeling lost and searching for answers after her loss
Navigating unmet expectations, frustration, and loneliness
Coping with anxiety during pregnancy
Embracing the grieving process and allowing space for all emotions
Using journaling and speaking aloud as powerful tools for healing
Kaileigh’s story is a testament to the power of naming our emotions and processing grief through writing and reflection.
Quotes:“I just was lost and the only thing I could focus on was searching for the reason––anything I could come up with wasn't good enough. ” – Kaileigh (2:26)
“Our hearts were shattered. Dreaming of who you would be while you were growing in my belly was such a joy. Well, we’ll never get to hear your cries or stare into your beautiful eyes. And while none of this was inner planned, I know this is the most beautiful life for you. And we can't wait for the day that we meet again.” – Kaileigh (32:26)
