Summary

Type of Loss: Stillbirth, Life-limiting diagnosis, Multiple losses More about Michael Ann's story: In this episode of Confessions of a Grieving Mother , we talk with Michael Ann Thomas as she shares the story of her daughter, Amelia. After experiencing an early miscarriage, Michael Ann and her husband were thrilled to be expecting their baby girl. Everything appeared normal until their 20-week anatomy scan revealed anomalies consistent with a lethal form of skeletal dysplasia. Ameliaโ€™s diagnosis meant her chest and limbs were too small to support life outside the womb. At 21 weeks and 5 days, Michael Ann was induced and surrounded by family as they welcomed and said goodbye to their daughter. Michael Ann also reflects on her ongoing journey, now pregnant with a healthy baby boy, and the complex emotions of carrying new life while holding space for grief. Her story is one of love, loss, and the courage to find hope again.
