Podcasts about stillborn

Stillborn buzzers, unplugged radios blaring after hours, and a phantom nurse gliding toward a locked recovery wing—welcome to St. Thomas Hospital, the birthplace of Alcoholics Anonymous and, by midnight, a playground for the dead. While cleaning deserted surgical bays beneath the ER, an orderly finds lights flipped back on, doors mysteriously unlatched, and boom-boxes thundering even after he's yanked every cord from the wall. A final chase after a woman in an old-fashioned habit ends at a door only the police can open—yet no one's inside. Was it a prank, or do the original nursing nuns still patrol these halls?

In this episode I speak to my girl Kate, her precious son, Cameron James Miranda was born May 4, 2022. He spent 9 days at home before being diagnosed with Enterovirus Myocarditis. He fought for 4 months in the CVICU. Cameron may not physically be here but over the past almost 3 years, her family continues to navigate their grief, honor Cameron, and choose to live a life full of love that they hope he would choose for them.Kate has amazing insight as to how she has managed to live a beauty life along with her profound sadness. I especially love the part where she tells us about cooking her way through an entire cookbook for one year. It's truly inspiring and something I feel a lot of mamas would need to hear.Find Kate on instagram at https://www.instagram.com/kkmiranda915/*************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

I'm back and with a mini "rebrand"...At a Total Loss is now Living the Loss Life because well, that's what I'm doing every single day and I'm here to share it with you.When I first hit record, I was drowning. I had just lost Brody only 4 months prior. I was raw, wrecked, and trying to survive the total devastation of stillbirth. That title—At a Total Loss—fit where I was. But grief doesn't stay in one place...and neither do we.In losing him, I've also gained so much:Perspective. Purpose. A community. A deeper love. A different version of myself.So it's time, for the podcast to evolve, too.In this episode I fill you in on what's been happening since I took a mini break (whoops) and what's happening next. I had a wild experience in Albania and I finally tell Wolfy's birth story since he turns TWO YEARS OLD on June 6th! holy moly. All of this is to let you know you're not alone no matter what stage you're in. Thank you for staying on this path with me. We're still grieving. We're still healing. But now we're living even though we've lost.

The first time Laura Bordignon held her daughter Makayla Poppy was also the last. A month after Makayla Poppy was delivered stillborn, Laura and her husband Nick received an invoice for her autopsy. The bill included an itemized list of procedures, but also revealed their daughter's remains were still in the morgue — weeks after they should have been released. Laura and Nick share their story in Jodie Martinson's documentary Seven Months with Makayla, in the hopes of highlighting the errors that compound grief for the thousands of Canadian families who experience stillbirth every year.

In this rich conversation, Guadalupe Nettel joins Adam Biles at Shakespeare and Company to explore the themes of her short story collection The Accidentals. They delve into the complexities of perception and the uncanny, the deep strangeness embedded in familial relationships, and the porous boundary between nature and human nature. Nettel discusses how her stories often begin with a striking image and unfold through a character's voice, frequently taking shape in the liminal space between realism and the fantastic. The conversation touches on the lasting psychological and social effects of the pandemic, the emotional and moral ambiguities of parenthood, and the hidden influence of family histories. Nature—particularly animal behaviour—serves both as metaphor and mirror, challenging the illusion of human superiority. The episode also examines the short story form, translation as reincarnation, and literature's power to illuminate the cracks in our perceived reality.Buy The Accidentals here: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/the-accidentals-2Guadalupe Nettel is a Mexican author of award-winning novels and short story collections. Her work has been translated into more than twenty languages and adapted for theatre and film. Still Born, her most recent novel, was shortlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize. In 2008 she received a PhD in Literature from the EHESS in Paris. She has edited cultural and literary magazines such as Número Cero and Revista de la Universidad de México.

History shows that our nation was to continue the "reformation" struggle in England between religious liberty and religious tolerance that had ended with restoration of the monarchy and the Church of England's primacy. But, recent First Amendment religious liberty arguments made to the U.S. Supreme Court show that we have forgotten that history and God' purpose for our nation. Today, David will demonstrate that esteemed early Justice Joseph Story wrote about it, picking up language used by John Owen and contained in the 1658 Savoy Declaration. He'll show the U.S. Supreme Court once understood it, too. This week shows that it is time for the Church to get back to the mission given it pertaining to harmonious reconciliation of religious liberty and righteous and just civil law.

History shows that the purpose of the First Amendment's religion clauses was to continue the reformation between religious liberty and religious toleration that ended in England with the restoration of the monarchy and the Church of England's primacy. Recent arguments in the U.S. Supreme Court on religious liberty show that Christians in America have forgotten that purpose and providentially given mission. That failure has put Christians under the thumb of the godless. It is time that Church re-vive this stillborn reformation to reconcile religious liberty with righteous and just civil laws.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is one of THE most powerfully inspiring episodes I've done to date. PLEASE, if you are a loss parent and even if you are not, listen to this episode....Dr. Joanne Cacciatore is a bereaved mother to her daughter Cheyenne born still 30 years ago. She is also the founder of the MISS Foundation, an international NGO that serves families whose children have died. She is also a tenured research professor and senior Wrigley Institute of Sustainability Scholar at Arizona State University, spearheading the Graduate Certificate in Trauma and Bereavement. Her best selling book, Bearing the Unbearable: Love, Loss, and the Heartbreaking Path of Grief, is a national award winning best seller that has helped revolutionize the way our culture thinks, and feels, about grief. She works with and counsels families from all around the world who have experienced catastrophic deaths. Dr. Jo, believing that current practices around food production are a social, ethical, and environmental justice issue, is a vegan and hasn't eaten meat since 1972.  She also teaches meditation, mindfulness, and compassion and ahimsa practices to students and clients from around the world.  Dr Jo started The Selah Carefarm just outside of Sedona, AZ. It is the first carefarm for the traumatically bereaved in the U.S. It is a very special place on 20 acres of beautiful farmland where bereaved family members can come to both give and receive connection, compassion, and understanding. All the animals on the carefarm have been rescued from abuse, neglect, torture, or homelessness. Our grieving families know what it means to suffer, and so do these animals. Dr Jo is truly a power house and a dream guest of mine, I am a different person after getting to speak with her.To get more info on the carefarm: The Selah CarefarmI mention her Open Letter to Grievers. I saved it to my phone screen and read it almost every day after losing Brody.

Liz from Episode 1 is back to check in about where she is 2 years after our first recording ( I cannot believe it!) At the time, I was 6 months out from losing Brody and Liz was 9 months out from losing her Harrison. We talk about anger, and owning our grief, how it's managed now, and how we've gotten stronger and able to handle our grief. Being advocates for shaping our own loss life, we talk about how we have done that as well as what we continue to struggle with in the specific stages we are in. We hope to shed some light on how grief can progress over time. This is real talk, y'all we don't hold back on our thoughts and experiences and hope that this helps

*Recoded prior to Halloween*...Holidays after baby loss are so weird. I'll also share insight from other mamas on how they've dealt in the past and the advice they have moving forward. Ways to honor our babies will also be shared as this is a huge struggle, especially in the beginning. Here's what I tackle:Declining invites to holiday eventsHandling Triggering peopleHalloween and all the deathHaving living kids while mourning during the holidays.Thanksgiving and how I've handled it so farChristmas and ways to honor. And holidays change and evolve as time moves forward. I recorded one of these the holidays after I lost Brody. And I'm entering into my 3rd season and things are very different.

In this episode, Dr. Hack sits down with Sadija Smiley, founder and CEO of Stillborn and Infant Loss Support (SAILS), to discuss the emotional toll of pregnancy loss and how to navigate the complex grief that follows. After the devastating stillbirth of her daughter Ivyanna in 2003, Sadija channeled her heartbreak into action, founding SAILS in 2017 to support families affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. Together, they explore the deep emotions of loss—grief, guilt, and isolation. Dr. Hack shares how to practice self-care as you heal in the aftermath. Don't miss this heartfelt conversation about turning pain into purpose.

How do you heal and move forward from miscarriage and stillbirth? Will you ever feel whole again after such heartbreak? Where do you even go from there after such a profound experience? Dr. Kiley Hanish is joining Dr. Lora Shahine on Baby or Bust for this episode to share her story and the support community for loss she created. Kiley and her husband, Sean, shared their story of stillbirth in the Emmy-nominated film Return to Zero, starring Minnie Driver in 2014. The lack of care she received through her son's stillbirth led her down the path to create the nonprofit organization Return to Zero: H.O.P.E., so that other families would have a better experience. Kiley's personal experience and insights into her own healing are profound. You'll hear her share how to navigate a new reality, accepting that grief is a lifelong journey, the importance of education for healthcare workers to support grieving families, and the entire journey of founding Return to Zero foundations and creating the film.

In this heartfelt episode of the What I Wish I Knew After Pregnancy Loss podcast, we are joined by Domenique Rice, a devoted mother and advocate who navigates the complex journey of grief after stillbirth. Domenique shares her personal story of losing her son, TJ, at 36 and a half weeks, and the transformative path she's walked since then. Domenique discusses her role as a bereaved mother of five, an advocate for stillbirth awareness, and a community leader. She highlights the importance of breaking the silence around child loss and empowering families to navigate their grief unapologetically. As the Operations Director for Push for Empowered Pregnancy and a BIPOC support group facilitator for Return to Zero Hope, Dominique passionately addresses the systemic issues that contribute to stillbirths and emphasises the urgent need for awareness, research, and support. Throughout the episode, Dominique offers practical advice on how to advocate for oneself in the workplace after loss, manage triggers, and find ways to parent a child who is no longer physically present. Her candid reflections remind us that grief is a lifelong journey, one that evolves but never fully fades. Join us as we explore the power of community, the significance of honouring both grief and joy, and how speaking up can make a difference for families affected by stillbirth. Whether you're navigating your own journey of loss or supporting someone who is, this episode is full of wisdom, strength, and compassion.

I chat with Lyndsay about her precious second son, Kove, who was born still at 37 weeks just a little over a year ago. That is when her grief and baby loss journey began. Since then she has started Kove's Keeper, a bereavement care package for parents suffering stillbirth & infant loss in the local hospitals. Devastation has since happened again as Lyndsay suffered a miscarriage since Kove's death. She is now currently pregnant for the 4th time and we discuss the challenges of pregnancy after loss. Lyndsay is also very open about her faith in God & how she has managed this relationship.Lyndsay is a sweet soul just wanting to parent Kove the best way she can and to help other Loss Moms out there.

Catherine is the mother to her TWO angel babies, Brooklyn (11/29/16) and Miles (12/7/17 - 12/14/17) and her now miracle baby, Lux. Catherine's experiences have covered a range of "rare" circumstances. We discuss ALL of it. She has faced an incompetent cervix, placental abruption, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), the NICU, a journey with a gestational carrier and miscarriages. After thinking she would never be able to physically carry another baby, she carried her miracle baby, Lux, to 37 weeks in 2021. Almost 8 years after her first loss, she shows us that grief has no expiration and how she includes all of her babies in their family today. Check out her Podcast: Angel Moms SisterhoodInstagram: @angelmoms.sisterhoodYouTube: @angelmomssisterhoodEmail: angelmomssisterhood@gmail.com JOIN THE LOSSLINK WAITLIST HEREOr if it's after July 18th, go to LossLink.com *************************************NOTE: I am not a doctor or a therapist.

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib talks to Nikolai Yakovenko, a returning guest to the podcast, about his new AI startup, DeepNewz, and the state of the LLM-driven AI landscape circa the summer of 2024, where we are in relation to earlier expectations and where we might be in the next decade. Yakovenko is an AI researcher who has worked at Google, Twitter and Nvidia, and is now a serial entrepreneur. He is also a competitive poker player. He currently lives in Miami, Florida, though he travels frequently to America's numerous “ideaopolises,” from San Francisco, Austin, Boston to New York City. Razib and Yakovenko discuss the reality that in the middle of 2024 here they are again, chatting about the world on a podcast, a scenario not everyone anticipated in the heady days of December 2022/January 2023 when the more overheated visiony tech  imaginations swirled with expectations that the advent of artificial general intelligence, the “machine god,” was imminent. Though OpenAI's GPT 3/3.5 was a leap ahead of GPT 2, GPT 4/4o has been a less spectacular advance. One of the major unforeseen aspects of the LLM-based framework in AI has been the returns to scale in terms of training data, but the last year and a half have not seen any great quantum jumps. The paradigm-shifting revolution that was promised has not arrived. Though AI has increased productivity on the margins, and certain artistic professions and translators have been decimated, overall, it is still a technology with more promise than realized outcomes. Yakovenko points out that AI-driven music creation produces serviceable outputs, but not great masterpieces. To test this, Razib used Suno to create a song “Nikolai's Dream” within 5 minutesmid-conversation. Though mildly catchy, Suno's lyrical styling elicited more amusement than awe. Yakovenko notes the importance of the LMSYS Chatbot Arena Leaderboard to get a sense of the performance of the various LLM projects. Using the feedback of participants, it produced an updated ranking of chatbot performance. The top ten models are from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and a Chinese vendor. Yakovenko notes the compression, with a very tight distribution of scores at the top. It turns out that OpenAI is not running away from their competition contra  its brand visibility likely being two orders of magnitude greater than Anthropic's. This brings to the fore the reality that these AI technologies have been viewed as both scientific research projects and potential business and consumer products. Finally, Yakovenko and Razib talk about DeepNewz. While most LLM-based chatbots tend to exclude very recent data and events, Yakovenko had the idea of creating DeepNewz to aggregate and assemble the breaking news in various categories like science and sports. Instead of a top-down query of news in various categories, the idea behind DeepNewz is to both cater to your preferences in terms of what you might find interesting, but also to surface stories that you might not know you might be interested in, adding more value.

She is curating Meltdown 2024 at the Royal Festival Hall, and opens the festival tomorrow night. She shares her plans and discusses her favourite songs.Far-right parties across Europe made significant gains in the European elections, and women have been at the forefront of this right-wing shift in several countries. Right-wing groups which include those led by Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni, France's Marine Le Pen and Germany's Alice Weidel are set to gain further seats in European parliament. To hear about the female leaders of Europe's far-right and what this shift could mean for women, Anita is joined by the host of EU Confidential Politico's Sarah Wheaton and Shona Murray, Europe correspondent for Euronews.Presenter: Anita Rani

Winter has a wonderful conversation with Kaileigh about her daughter Melody, who was stillborn at 21 weeks and 5 days. Kaileigh talks about how she had the "perfect" first trimester with very little morning sickness. How the got the 3D ultrasound and the beautiful videos of Melody. Kaileigh then recounts having a premonition feeling that something wasn't correct as they come home from a short vacation. Kaileigh and her husband went in for the postponed 20 week ultrasound and were told that their daughter didn't have a heartbeat. Melody was born the day after and Kaileigh was blessed to have had many wonderful hospital staff members that helped her in her grief.  DONATE $5 (aka "buy us a coffee/hot cocoa") to support the continued production of these stories.
