153. Navigating Life&Finding Hope After Ectopic Pregnancies, Health Scares&No Rainbow Baby with Kelsey Ludemann - a podcast by Ashlee Proffitt

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to Kelsey Luddemann and giving her space to share motherhood journey – a journey that has been filled with incredible loss and significant medical and health scares and yet even amidst the heartache and loss you hear Kelsey’s joy; even when there are pieces of her story that still fill unfinished without resolution or even a chance for a rainbow.

Kelsey shares in a way that is honest and open, tender and empathetic -- in a way that I am sure will speak to you and encourage you.

Kelsey shares her story of infertility, a cancer diagnosis and two ectopic pregnancies that resulted in the loss of both of her fallopian tubes, as well as her chance to naturally conceive. Kelsey also shares about her experience with embryo loss as well as a failed adoption – like I said, her motherhood journey has been filled with devastation and loss and yet this interview and her story is not without hope and I love Kelsey’s honest answer about what joy in the mourning has looked like for her. 

 

Keep listening to hear how Kelsey navigated life after loss, things like returning to work, marriage, faith and wrestling and asking hard questions, how she handles pregnancy announcements, what it looked like for her to close the chapter on growing her family without a rainbow baby and so much more.

The wisdom shared here is incredibly helpful at navigating the new normal for a grieving mom – I know that it will not only help you practically but also remind you that you aren’t alone in experiencing the challenges of embracing this new identity – you are not alone in this. 

 

Kelsey also shares invaluable wisdom about how to love a mom who has experienced pregnancy loss and the unique challenges a woman faces who has experienced an ectopic pregnancy – if you love a grieving a mom make sure to listen to the wisdom Kelsey shares there.
