Mom Taylor's Life After Stillbirth During The COVID-19 Pandemic

Still A Part of Us: A podcast about pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant loss

Mom Taylor tells of the struggle she and her husband Tad had after their daughter Hazel was stillborn at 36 weeks, during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how they were unable to be physically close to others when they may have needed it. But because of that, they were able to draw closer together as a couple, though they grieved and mourned on different timelines and in different ways.

Taylor also talks about how much her faith in God and the prayers of others has helped her through this sad time for her and her husband.
