This episode is incredible. Nikki talks to me about her beautiful baby Skye who died from a severe and rare disorder called Meckel-Gruber Syndrome. It is only passed to the baby if both parents are carriers. Upon hearing this news, Nikky and her husband decided not to have biological children moving forward, as the chances are high that it will happen again. Nikky talks about her journey through her pregnancy, all of the fear and heartbreak but also the love and beauty for her daughter that was and still is so strong. She discusses their decisions after Skye's death and what that means for them moving forward as foster parents to children needing love and support. Nikki also discusses her relationship with God and how to redefine what it means when we hear "God is good" The last 30 minutes of this episode are everything if you are searching to strengthen your relationship with your faith after loss. She puts it so simply and so eloquently, you have got to listen to it.

As always do your own research & use your own judgement on what's best for you. I am not a doctor or a therapist. I am just a real life loss mom describing her experiences with life after loss.
