BRAVE Guidance
After a fatal diagnosis at 13-weeks gestation in November 2016, we were told our second child was not expected to survive pregnancy, labor, or delivery.
In 2017, my husband and I decided it was the right time to start a family. After about 18 months without any luck, we sought help from a fertility clinic in Milwaukee. We tried 3 rounds of IUI without success.
Even as a young girl, I always knew that being a Mom was the most important job that I would ever have. After falling in love with my husband, John, and marrying him in 1998, we began to build our beautiful family.
I kissed him goodbye and left him at the hospital and went home. The days blurred into explaining what happened over and over, arranging a memorial service, making sure my husband was ok, making sure my now 12-year-old son was ok, making sure the world was ok...
