Summary
Just last week, I shared the birth story of our precious daughter, Dagny Elizabeth Thompson. I sat out in my office recording, as baby Dagny slept inside with Chris. Every second, I wondered if she had woken up or if she was hungry...I couldn't wait to get back inside and hold her.
I never imagined that just a week later, we'd be sharing that we lost her.
Our grief is deep & raw, but we also wanted to share our love and her life with those of you who have followed our journey and prayed for her. Please skip this episode if you are triggered by stories of trauma or infant death. This is certainly not an episode for everyone.
Please continue to pray as we navigate this unimagineable loss.
We have established the Dagny Elizabeth Thompson Memorial Fund in her honor to support families navigating infant crisis and loss.

| 0:05.7 | Benton and I never imagined that I would have to record this episode and I just |
| 0:13.3 | want to start by saying that this is going to be a really hard one. It's going to |
| 0:17.7 | be a hard one for me. It is probably going to be a really hard one for everybody |
| 0:21.7 | who listens and I wish more than anything that I didn't have to record this. |
| 0:30.3 | If you are emotionally not in a good place, if you have experienced infant |
| 0:38.8 | loss or child loss, this might be a good one to skip. If you are new to the show, |

| 0:53.2 | know that a few days ago I shared our daughter's beautiful birth story. Never |
| 1:06.1 | imagining that a week later, not even a week later, we would be letting you know |
| 1:18.6 | that we lost her. I have Chris here with me, hey babe. And I have him here |
| 1:27.4 | primarily because I just didn't think I could do this myself and I want to I |
| 1:32.4 | want to start with why we're doing this because I think a lot of people are |
| 1:37.7 | probably like why in the world just three days after you lost your daughter, |
| 1:43.3 | are you recording a podcast? It's a good question. Well, I mean one part of it is |
| 1:49.7 | I just released her birth story and obviously one option would be to delete |
| 1:56.0 | that podcast, but that feels really wrong and it doesn't feel fair to her. It |
| 2:03.4 | just I can't and don't want to erase any part of her life. And I've been talking |
| 2:11.4 | about her and our journey since we found out we were pregnant. And this is one |
| 2:21.2 | of those things that's really interesting. I remember going through some tough |
| 2:24.9 | personal stuff a few years back and feeling like it was hard to talk about it |
| 2:29.9 | publicly, but that's also that's also the business that I'm in, you know. So it |
