info_outline“I couldn’t have my child bearing years end with a dead baby” with Taliya Corbett
This is a messy, complicated truth of what it means to carry both heartbreak and hope.
After the devastating stillbirth of her daughter, Ora, all Taliya could think was—“The only thing that will make me feel okay again is another baby.” But the road to pregnancy wasn’t simple. And even when she finally conceived, she didn’t feel joy. Or hope. Or love.
This episode is for anyone who's been told that a new baby will "fix it"—and then finds themselves drowning in guilt when it doesn’t feel that way at all.
