In this interview, mom Lori Ann describes what grief and mourning has looked like for her after her son Owen David was born via emergency C-section one week before the COVID-19 pandemic shut everything down in her area. He was 26 weeks old and passed away a short time after he was born. She tells of how she incorporates him into their lives on daily basis, how she and her husband have learned to support each other, and that grief is like waves and how you learn to ride them.
