CJ speaks with Halle Marenger as she talks about her infant daughter, Lilah.
While Halle had a young son at home, she and her husband were over the moon to be expecting a little girl. She would make their little family complete, especially after 3 previous miscarriages.
After many challenges and seven weeks of bed rest in the hospital, little Lilah was born on December 9, 2018, in an emergency C-section after she had stopped moving in utero. Barely 48 hours later, little Lilah died, but only after a lot of love was given to her from family near and far.
In the wake of Lilah’s death, Halle has made advocacy around infertility, baby loss, and miscarriage a part of her mission as she shares her story with others by https://stillstandingmag.com/2020/05/10/on-mothers-day-what-i-wish-you-knew/, speaker, and leader around this issue.
Halle’s most recent article https://stillstandingmag.com/2020/05/10/on-mothers-day-what-i-wish-you-knew/ feels like after having experienced loss and miscarriage.
