You met Taylor in the debut episode of Last Words Podcast.

A 24 year old Li-Fraumeni patient embracing the unconventional.

Now, meet her mother — Heather Lawson.

Host Nic Main returns to Indiana to hear Heather’s story.

A NICU nurse, Heather reflects on what it means to work with such fragile lives and how her own story shaped her into an advocate for the mothers and newborns who enter her world.

She shares what it was like to lose her father as a teenager and years later, help her own children navigate that same kind of loss.

She answers the questions:

What does it mean to explain death to a child?

Where do we place the love that remains

after someone is gone?

Teaching us in crisis: everything has to change.
