Birth Stories: Elaine Shares the Birth of Lando - A Stillbirth Story
In this special birth story episode, we’re joined by Elaine Nguyen. She shares the story of the stillbirth of her son, Lando, and how this experience changed her.
Elaine is a pediatric Speech and Language Pathologist and mama of two - one earth baby and one angel baby, who was born sleeping in April 2024. Since this devastating loss she has felt an inner nudge from her spirit baby, Lando, to create ATX Loss Mama, a community for all types of loss moms - miscarriages, TFMR, stillbirths, infant loss, and child loss. She has become passionate about spreading awareness on the realities of what loss families experience as well providing tangible resources for the community to close the gap between the hospital doors and a loss family’s home.
For more information, you can find her on IG at @embracingwholeness. If you are in a position to donate funds to this group, please consider doing so. The proceeds donated allow loss families to access healing events, grief yoga sessions, etc. at minimal to no cost. The link to donate is: https://forms.gle/z8p2vKrvt4qHcE9M8.
