Miranda, mom of George who was stillborn at 39 weeks, talks with Winter about how difficult it was to function after the stillbirth of her son, and how her husband Graham helped her greatly on a day-to-day basis in those early days. She also talks about how she remembers George with tangible things like his memorial bench, and recommends some things to say (and not to say) to an angel mom.
