105. ‘Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep’ and Providing Remembrance Portraits to Parents Experiencing the Loss of a Baby (with Coordinator and Volunteer Melanie Rodger)
Description
In this tender and moving episode, I revisit my conversation with Melanie Rodger from the nonprofit organization Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep—a group that provides the priceless gift of professional remembrance portraits to parents grieving the loss of a baby.
Melanie shares her own story of losing her infant son and how that heartbreaking experience inspired her to volunteer—and later work—with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. Through her vulnerability, compassion, and insight, Melanie reminds us that healing and service often intertwine in profound ways.
This interview originally aired in May of 2024, but because October marks Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, I wanted to reshare this important episode to honor those families who have faced unimaginable loss and to remind anyone walking that path that they are not alone.
