Welcome to the Silent Cradles Podcast, where we hear from women who have experienced a loss during the “safe zone” of pregnancy.
My name is Denise and I lost my beautiful son Malachi back in March 2023 at 14 weeks. I created this podcast to highlight the stories of real women who have persevered in the face of grief and loss. I hope that it will serve as a helpful resource for anyone currently navigating life after pregnancy loss.
