-
- Para padres y madres
In this poignant episode, host Laura Arroyo welcomes Morgan Cain, a mother whose journey with her son is woven with threads of both deep love and unspoken grief. Memphis, Morgan's final child, brought with him the immense joy of completing her family, but also the unexpected shock of a cleft lip diagnosis.
Morgan opens up about the emotional storm that followed the diagnosis. Guilt, questioning, and an overwhelming sense of grief threatened to engulf her. She grappled with the "what ifs" and the unspoken pain of feeling like she had somehow failed her son before he even had a chance.
Today, Morgan shares warm feelings about her son's diagnosis and journey and hopes that she can be an advocate to empower and give hope to other mother's along the journey.
