Mom Jess is interviewed about the time after her daughter, Addelyn was born at 30 weeks and died shortly later due to a severe case of fetal hydrops, and what she did to heal, what helped (and didn't help), and what she and her husband Patrick did for Addy's memorial service.

DONATE $5 (aka "buy us a coffee/hot cocoa") to support the continued production of these stories. We appreciate all the help toward production and hosting costs.

Or if you want to purchase an "Always a Part of Us" Legacy Gift for $20, you'll be providing to one of these families that shares their story, full transcriptions, mp3s, and mp4s of the recordings of their baby's birth story and advice episodes for their family history records.
