    Thank you Dee for making this space for women to share their stories of pregnancy and baby loss and a place for women like myself to listen and feel less alone in the most isolating of experiences. I cannot even begin to express how helpful I have found these conversations. So sorry for your losses and thank you so much for all your efforts.
