In this week’s episode, Latoya shares her motherhood story of welcoming her daughter Skylar at 28 weeks and navigating a long and complex NICU journey. She opens up about the challenges they faced during Skylar’s 10-month NICU stay, the joy of bringing her home, and the deep love that defined their time together. Latoya vulnerably shares about the devastating loss of Skylar at 18 months old following a medical complication, and what it has looked like to navigate grief, trauma, and healing in the years since. She reflects on the ways she continues to feel connected to Skylar, the tools that have supported her healing journey, and how she has learned to carry both grief and love side by side. Latoya also shares about founding The Skylar Project, an organization created in honor of Skylar’s life that now supports NICU families with resources, care, and community. As you listen to Latoya’s story, we hope that any bereaved NICU mama feels seen, supported, and reminded that your baby’s life matters deeply. We honor you and your babies this Bereaved Mother’s Day.
