Jeanine Deas: Still to Be Born

When your baby dies prematurely from miscarriage, stillbirth, or soon after giving birth, for many, the hope of becoming a parent dies, too. In this week's podcast, I had the privilege of spending time with an insightful mother who, 36 years after losing her first child to stillbirth, vividly describes, how, she says, her  "heart bled and her soul wept" for the daughter she never got to know.   Jeanine Deas, a gifted writer, has journaled and written inspiring poetry about her child loss experience, one of which she reads at the end of the podcast. She is a published author of a children's grief book, called Anna's Little Buddy, available on Amazon and in book stores.    Jeanine also references two helpful resources in Maine for grieving families that we want to be sure to pass along to our listeners :The Center for Grieving Children: www.cgcmaine.orgHope's Place for Grieving Children: https://www.hvwa.org/hope-s-place-for-grieving-childrenWhat did you think?
