Vera’s Stillbirth Story Featured on the Motherhood Unedited Podcast

Vera V. Chapman shares the story of her stillborn son, Hayes, and the healing process that unfolded following

“He was alive! I felt him! and then he was gone, and all I could think about was how my body did that to him.”  Grief and loss are never easy to talk about, especially when losing a baby unexpectedly.  While the topic is not an easy one, it is an important conversation to have when it comes to motherhood.  Therefore, to close out Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month Vera Chapman discusses how she has navigated losing her son Hayes at 37 weeks gestation and processing the shame and guilt that followed.  She also describes how she and her family have moved through their grief together, not shying away from talking about Hayes or the difficult emotions that come up around losing him.  In addition, Vera talks about how grateful she is to have an amazing support system, and how their community went above and beyond to make sure that she and her family were taken care of immediately following Hayes’ passing.

Hayes has transformed Vera’s life in many ways and with his presence always with her she has built a career as an Intuitive Sound Healer and Reiki Practitioner, helping others on their healing journey.    Vera lives in Hamilton, NY with her husband and two living children.  Through her practice, Resonating Soul Wellness, she aims to help people find love and light in their lives, all while keeping it real, because everyone deserves peace in their life.
