Episode 20: Digging Deeper // The ABCS of Grief with Jessica Correnti

In this touching episode, Mandy talks with author and Child Life Specialist Jessica about following her calling and supporting others through the most difficult times in their lives. 

 

Jessica has a passion for supporting children going through difficult life experiences. This passion was amplified after she and her family personally went through several miscarriages and the stillbirth of their little girl, Maggie. Jessica has supported families going through a large variety of losses related to death, life-changing events, and new diagnoses.

 

Since 2018,  Jessica has been heavily involved in supporting her local grief community. She assisted with raising over $240,000 for a local pregnancy and infant loss non-profit organization. Additionally, Jessica and her family have been fundraising money to create a respite room at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center to allow families to have more time with their children who are dying/have died in a more relaxed, home-like environment.

 

Mandy and Jessica talk about how they passionately believe in sharing and honoring the stories of others, including supporting them in their grief journeys.
