Have you lost a baby in a miscarriage, stillbirth or SIDS? Do you feel alone? Are you angry, depressed or struggling with all the emotions infant loss can have? Are you met with unwanted advice, inappropriate encouragement or feel bitter about your loss? Are you wondering where God stands in all this chaos? Do you wonder why America hasn't done much to save babies from preventable stillbirth? Were you able to get a certificate from your state dignifying your baby's life after you lost your baby in a miscarriage or stillbirth? Do you want to learn how to advocate for laws in your state that will raise awareness? Are you tired of sitting on the sidelines and ready to make some legislative changes in your state or in Congress?
10 years ago I asked God why and what was He going to do with my grief. Hello, my name is Lisa Rowell. My daughter Julianna Grace was born still in 2013. In grief and lamenting before God, I felt this sudden urge to help those like myself. Throughout the past decade I’ve learned a thing or two about loss. No one person grieves the same but we all want to make sense of it.
This Podcast aims to raise awareness on stillbirth, miscarriage, and infant loss, shedding light on these often overlooked issues. My Christian faith plays a significant role in how I survived my own loss, inspiring me to establish the Julianna Grace Ministry. I first began giving out grieving baskets to those who have lost a baby in a miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS or had an early infant loss. That led to raising money to donate a cuddle cot and caring cradle to hospitals in my city. Later, I helped pass legislation to give parents a tax credit for those who have had a stillbirth and a certificate dignifying babies who were lost in a miscarriage. I advocate for addressing the silent crisis of stillbirth through legislation in Louisiana and across the country, emphasizing the need to give dignity to all babies who have been lost too soon. Through my God given skills, I seek to bring hope and healing to those who have been affected by these heartbreaking circumstances.
This Podcast also addresses the need for legislative action to address the preventable stillbirth crisis in America. It discusses the importance of apps that monitor fetal and placenta health and the availability of certificates and tax credits for families who have experienced infant loss. By raising awareness and advocating for change, the podcast empowers parents through education to advocate for the lives of their lost children and future pregnancies.
Losing a baby can trigger a whirlwind of emotions, including anger, depression, shame and loneliness. The podcast explores the challenges faced by grieving parents, offering empathy and support. It addresses the unhelpful advice and inappropriate encouragements often encountered, and provides a safe space for sharing raw and vulnerable experiences.
If you are in the beginning or years down the road from the loss of your baby, this podcast is for you. I believe God is not done with you and if you allow Him, He will do the most unimaginable miracles in your life. 10 years ago I got up to grab my bottle of liquor and a bottle of pills to end it all until God intervened in the most miraculous way. “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Psalm 27:13 You’ll be amazed what God did with someone like myself who had nothing to give. I truly never thought I'd have joy or peace. Don't give up, don't give in, hold fast and subscribe. “Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say on the Lord.” Psalm 27:14

Our bereavement program offers a simplified path to donating milk for women suffering from a perinatal loss. Any bereaved woman can donate her milk after completing our application process. We waive all requirements related to minimum volume, medications, and herbs. We use every ounce of milk donated, using it to study breast milk in our Research lab if we can’t safely feed it to our recipient babies. Bereaved donors are invited to participate in our Teardrops and Milkdrops memory garden once their lactation journey ends.
