This is an extremely rare event, and unlike a lot of stories on this podcast, was not preventable. \n\nSydney opens up about how this has altered her whole world and the choices she's had to make to keep moving forward. We are friends here in Atlanta, and I can tell you Sydney is such a light in such a dark dark reality. Her faith in God is inspiring & how she handles her grief with such grace is truly admirable. I felt the world needed to hear her story. \n\nWhat we discuss:\nLeighton's death & birth\nThings that happened in the hospital\nHow to continue your faith\nHer experience \"in the trenches\"\nThe choice she made to keep going\nHow she handles situations that make her anxious\nHer relationship with her husband\nWhat she is battling now 6 months later\nSo much more.\n\nSydney hopes to help as many mommas as she can.

As always do your own research & use your own judgement on what's best for you. I am not a doctor or a therapist. I am just a real life loss mom describing her experiences with life after loss. This is my real life, and I'm putting it out there so you feel less alone. ***\n\nFor more REAL TALK about pregnancy loss, stillbirth and grief, hit follow!\n\nInstagram @thekatherinelazar\n\nFacebook: @thekatherinelazar\n\nYoutube: @thekatherinelazar\n\nEmail: thekatherinelazar@gmail.com\n\nWebsite: www.katherinelazar.com\n"}
