Cal's Corner: Where Love And Compassion Meet

Becca and Dan Sharpsteen were excited to welcome their first child into the world. A full-term pregnancy and the eager anticipation of a newborn, soon turned to tragedy when they learned their son, Cal, would be stillborn. That twisted turn of events started a grief journey that has been an emotional roller coaster for the young couple. Becca joins our Life After Loss podcast to share their story and to help others who have suffered such a loss. She talks about the time in the hospital they spent with their son, holding him, singing to him, reading and trying to capture what memories they could with a boy who wasn't going to be coming home. The couple has channeled their emotions and energy into something to honor and remember their son called, "Cal's Corner." It's a mobile bookshelf stationed at the hospital and includes titles to help families who have suffered stillbirth, miscarriage or infant loss which will enable them to process their own grief and to further discuss the loss with surviving or future children. It also includes some favorite children's books that parents can read to their lost child while still in the hospital which helps them to cope and create memories. Please join us for the emotional story of Cal and the lasting legacy his life created. OneBrightStar.org
