Leaving the Hospital Without Your Baby: A Story of Loss, Grief, and Resilience

In this episode of the Empowered Grief Journey Podcast, Chris speaks with Lori Layne—author, speaker, and founder of The Lane Less Traveled—about her experience with a high-risk pregnancy, a long NICU journey, and the loss of her daughter.

Lori shares the emotional realities of child loss, including navigating grief while raising a surviving child, how partners grieve differently, and the importance of community and support. She also discusses how she turned her pain into purpose through writing, ministry, and legacy work to help other grieving parents feel less alone.
