She is a certified childbirth educator and birth doula, and she has started to work with women and those who support them as they navigate and cope with pregnancy and infant loss.

After 12 weeks, they were so excited to finally welcome their long-awaited baby. At 13 weeks, however, they received a terminal diagnosis of Trisomy 18.
