When Foster Wilson’s second pregnancy took a heartbreaking turn, she found herself facing an impossible decision; one that no parent ever imagines having to make. 

In this episode, Foster opens up about her journey through cesarean birth, loss, and healing. She shares how surrender became her lifeline, how she honored her son Wilde, and how that deep Grief eventually led her toward her calling as a postpartum doula and storyteller.

This is a story about the courage to let go, the beauty found in heartbreak, and the quiet power of choosing compassion for yourself and others.

 Key Takeaways

  • Postpartum grief exists for everyone, even in healthy pregnancies and births.
  • The ability to make choices about your own body and pregnancy is a matter of humanity, not politics.
  • Honoring loss can take many forms—naming, storytelling, art, or simply remembering.
  • Surrender isn’t weakness; it’s the quiet strength that allows healing to begin.
  • Deep grief can plant roots that help us connect more profoundly with others.
