Navigating Stillbirth with Erin Maroon, Ashlie’s Mom and co-founder of Ashlie’s Embrace

Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor

After nine long months of waiting for the much anticipated arrival of their first child, a daughter,Ashlie, Erin Maroon and her husband Anthony were crushed and heartbroken as her doctor delivered Ashlie and discovered she was stillborn at full term. Without warning, their long awaited joy and dreams abruptly vanished. How do young parents even begin trying to process something so unspeakable with the unbearable pain and unanswered questions? Grief isn’t supposed to accompany the birth of a child. Join us as Erin talks about her grief journey and we discuss some of the challenges she and Anthony faced in a culture where the impact of stillbirth and miscarriage are so minimized. Discover how GOD healed and restored Erin, giving her a passion to help comfort and bless other grieving parents through the ministry of Ashlie’s Embrace, a non-profit founded by she and her husband in 2016.
