When Fetuses, Babies, Children, and Other Loved Ones Die w/ Blyss Young, LM, CPM

The Episode was made possible by Immune Intel AHCC® & WeNatalBirthwork is a sacred calling. And as we accumulate life experience we can become more comfortable and present with birth, particularly when we begin to accumulate direct experience with the death of loved ones. Death and dying aren’t words that are typically used in a conversation about birth, but many women and their partners don’t experience as radical a confrontation with their own mortality outside of birth, which is a sacred rite of passage. Blyss Young is one of my closest mentors, and she was present for my first home birth, while I was in residency. Having gone through deep losses in succession in recent years, she was gracious enough to share her experiences with me in this very vulnerable and heart-opening conversation <3Visit the show notes for more.Connect with Blyss:WebsiteInstagramReference from the show:We don't "move on" from grief.
