Listeners, this will crack your heart wide-open. Listen again as my guest and VA, Alicia Strunk, a New Hampshire native, now residing in Ireland, shares the most heart-breaking/heart-opening story you can imagine. During this past year, Alicia’s pregnancy was a common topic of our discussions. We delighted in talking about the journey of pregnancy, motherhood, and all that it calls forth for a woman. It was impossible not to share her excitement around the coming birth. However, at 39 weeks into her pregnancy and expecting to give birth at any moment, Alicia she got the news that her first born was going to be a stillbirth. To lose her baby at full term was not only an unexpected and shocking turn of events, it surfaced some very deep and existential questions that Alicia and her husband had to address. What happened? What went wrong? Why did this happen? In a shocking scenario from which it would seem impossible to find anything to be grateful for, Alicia dives deep to share the gifts came to light through this tragedy. In her experience of processing this loss, Alicia found beauty in grieving and learned that pain does not have to lead to suffering. She learned that her capacity to love was far deeper than she imagined. She learned that it not only takes a village to raise a child, it also takes a village to mourn the loss of one, and that one can leave a legacy without even taking a breath. While the subject is sensitive and involves grief and loss, I think you’ll be uplifted and inspired by the way Alicia, her husband Johnny, their families, and their community have been present to the fullness of this experience and how they’ve grown from it. While this journey is, on the surface, about the end of something, it is also about the promise of a new beginning. Tune in and learn what that new beginning might be. **************************************************** What’s Up in The New Beyond?
