- Barn och familj
Stitches Podcast aims to serve mommas who have experienced the loss of God’s most precious gift, the gift of new life. We provide a safe haven throughout this raging storm of grief that is miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.
Grief is a non-linear process. Everyone’s wound is different – requiring different stitches to mend. We strive to bring hope and healing through a passionate community, meaningful education, and connections to grief resources.

20: Baby Mateo's 44-Day Hospital Journey & starting Mateo's Mark
Baby Mateo was born with Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) with heterotaxy and polysplenia. Despite the daunting prognosis, his family clung to hope, their prayers a constant presence in their lives. Tragically, Mateo's battle came to an end on September 1, 2023. In the midst of her grief, Jenelle found solace in a gesture of love: crafting a sweatshirt adorned with all her children's names. From this act emerged her nonprofit, Mateo's Mark, a tangible symbol of enduring love and remembrance for her sweet heavenly son.

16: Navigating medical bills after miscarriage or stillbirth
Dealing with medical bills after the loss of a child is a particularly difficult journey. Your world has broken into pieces, you have no idea what you are about to be charged, and often times payment is demanded immediately from hospitals. LaDonna and Christa reflect on their experiences in navigating the ups and downs of American insurance, hospital billing, and collections.
