From Butterflies to Angels
A bi-weekly podcast where we have genuine, in-depth, and sometimes very emotional conversation about death and dying. You will hear heartfelt stories and profound insights as we walk through the death and dying journey together. Through these talks I hope to get you to thinking about death and dying in a different light. Death is an honorable, intimate, and sacred event. The only fact about life is death. Why not talk about it?

Excerpt from Ghost Belly by Elizabeth Heineman
As I continue to assist postpartum parents who are grieving the loss of their child or children, it made me thing of this book, Ghost Belly. While I have shared my account of losing my daughters, I find it helpful to hear from others as well so I decided to share a short excerpt from one of my favorite books(if you can have a favorite book about child loss).
This book is Elizabeth Heineman’s personal account of a home birth that goes tragically wrong—ending in a stillbirth—and the harrowing process of grief and questioning that follows. It’s also Heineman’s unexpected tale of the loss of a newborn: before burial, she brings the baby home for overnight stays.
