from What Happens Next: Stories of Grief and Loss | Ryder’s Story · host Nick Mendelke - Parenting After Loss

What started as an ordinary day became the day that changed our lives forever. In this episode, I recount the 911 call, the uncertainty inside the hospital, the waiting and movement from room to room, and the emergency C-section that followed. It’s the story of the day we met our son Ryder—and the devastating moment we were told he was gone.
