06/14/24 • 40 min
What better way to end Season 1 of SLS than with part 2 of Jackie Nave’s miraculous story?! Jackie is back to share the rest of her story - how a mass on her placenta during her third pregnancy turned into a placental abruption, and resulted in the most incredible outcome with her miracle baby girl. The gift of having a husband in residency gives us an insight into what it means to arrive at the hospital during shift change, the impeccable medical team caring for her, and the gift of personal relationships with her care team. A NICU stay with a resident husband also poses unique challenges - Jackie shares how God transformed her focus during this time with her daughter. We’re so honored to encourage you with the rest of Jackie’s story!

Holding Grief & Joy During Residency (Part 1) | Brooke Avon, Megan Baer, & Jackie Nave
Losing a child is something no family should ever have to experience. And to walk through it during residency seems particularly wrong. How do we process and work through grief while continuing to be a mom and spouse? And how does our husband return to work at the same hospital we received this traumatic news?
This week, Jackie Nave joins us to share part one of her story. Jackie is a wife to an anesthesiology resident in Hershey, PA, and shares the story of her son, Boden, who was stillborn while her husband was in the midst of residency. Jackie's family experienced the unique struggles of a husband in medicine who works at the hospital where they experienced traumatic loss. Through immense grief and raw emotion, the Lord has used Boden's story to give Jackie opportunities to share about Jesus everywhere she goes. At the end, she gives us the biggest mic drop we've ever heard, to give us a taste of what’s to come in Part 2! We pray that God uses Jackie's story to help you taste and see that He is good.
