280: Mama and Infant Loss Survivor - Charla Grim

On this week’s episode of The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast, we welcome Charla Grim — wife, mama, and a courageous woman who is using her story of love, loss, and motherhood to bring comfort and hope to others. Charla is the mother of three beautiful boys — Mason, Emmett, and Garrison. Emmett was born sleeping. Charla and her husband went to the hospital expecting to welcome their baby boy into the world, but instead heard the words no parent should ever hear: “I’m sorry, your baby doesn’t have a heartbeat.” Their lives were changed in an instant.

Nothing in life prepares a parent for that kind of loss. The grief never fully goes away. Yet through the heartbreak, Charla has discovered an inner strength she never knew she had. In the years since losing Emmett, she has learned to carry both love and grief at the same time — and she has chosen to honor her son by sharing her story and lighting the way for others walking through similar pain.

On Emmett’s first birthday, Charla shared a reflection that captured both the heartbreak and beauty of motherhood. She wrote that Emmett made them parents again. He filled their hearts with love and joy. Losing him showed them the strength they didn’t know they had. He brought their family closer and transformed their lives forever. Charla still wonders what his laugh would have sounded like, what color his eyes would have been, and what his smile would have looked like — but she knows his light continues to shine through the love he left behind.

This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign — celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling. Charla’s story embodies that truth with so much grace and courage.
