Whole, But Not the Same

By: Jackie Naginey Hook
Wednesday, September 30, 2020

This month Jackie Naginey Hook talks to Jennifer Stubbs about being whole but forever changed as the result of pregnancy and early infant loss. After the loss of her first son, Jennifer became a passionate volunteer with HEART of Central PA, a pregnancy and infant loss support group. She is also actively involved in establishing a remembrance garden, Footprints in the Field, for families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy or infant.
