To her it was important for her to lean into her pain, her grief, and her motherhood to her baby who was no longer here. Lexi poured herself into her poetry, that she self published as a way to connect with Lily as well as take time and space to just BE with herself and her pain instead of pushing it away. Since Lily's death, Lexi has since had her little sister Daisy. We talk about the beauty and sadness in raising a living child after loss and the complexity of parenting one here and one in the sky. \n\nYou can tell her love for her daughters and the strength she exudes despite her pain is inspiring.
