Episode 22 - Jessie's Story - Healing After Experiencing a Stillbirth

After a devastating loss of her son Keith, at 22 weeks, Jessie struggled to move on. Jessie is candid about how difficult it was to leave the hospital with no baby. In the thick of grief, Jessie finds strength to continue growing her family. One year after the loss of her son, she had a newborn. This is when her postpartum depression set in. She thought it was regular grief, and didn't see what it really was. She was secluding herself, not talking to her husband about her feelings, or anyone. She felt totally numb and wanting to protect herself from the pain of losing another baby. After finding herself in a serious funk, she found strength in therapy and life coaching. Sharing her feelings made all the difference for her. There is power in talking to somebody who she didn't need to comfort. Everyone in her life was grieving that loss, and having someone to talk to that was outside of it all, was exactly what she needed. Jessie is now a life coach, and assists others in walking through life as you heal.
