Leylani’s mom died from pulmonary failure when Leylani was 7 years old. She never had the opportunity to get to know her mom in depth or know her stories. She’s dealt with grief and closure for the past 21 years, but feels like sometimes it can get harder and harder.

Leylani’s Take-Away: If you are dealing with mother or pregnancy loss, you learn how to live with it. You have to learn how to talk about how you are feeling too. If you need someone to talk to, please reach out to me and we can talk.
