Meditation Without Borders – Being the Change Podcast

IN MEMORY OF ARTEMIS VANDIVIER, LOST 7/11/21

Like a night sky of stars, the memories of babies who lost their lives as they began shine in the hearts of countless mothers and fathers. Yet it’s not talked about much, and for so many parents, grief walks with them wherever they go.

This is a particularly personal episode as Kristen and Isabel discuss the very recent stillbirth of Kristen’s baby Artemis. They explore all the facets of grief in general and then describe the unique experience of living through miscarriage and infant loss.

If you have ever experienced grief over the death of someone very close to you, and especially for those who've lost a baby to miscarriage or infant loss, we hope this episode brings comfort and healing.
