11 | Pressing into the Pain after Infant Loss | Lindsay Johnson
Episode 11
Join us for a conversation with Lindsay Johnson, founder of Aspyn Arrows, about pressing into the pain after infant loss. Lindsay shares the tragic story of finding her one-month-old daughter, Aspyn, unresponsive in her crib.
Following her daughter's death, she struggled with suicidal thoughts. She leaned into her faith and God brought beauty from ashes. In this episode, Lindsay shares her story and more about Aspyn Arrows (the nonprofit organization she started to educate families on safe sleep practices and empower them to sleep with peace of mind by providing them with Owlet Baby Care monitors).
In this episode, we discussed:
- Praying hard prayers and trusting God's will

- How death still hurts even when you have the hope of Heaven
- Seeing God work in the middle of grief and why it's a blessing

- Talking about your baby and special family traditions in their memory
- Parenting living children after the loss of a baby
- Why guilt is not from God and how to forgive yourself
