Episode Synopsis

In this episode Helena is joined by Dante’s mama Gina Reeves. She fondly recalls the memories she has with her baby boy, Dante Rueben Theodore Reeves who was devastatingly stillborn at 25weeks. This episode is broken into three parts where Gina shares her work as part of the charity Ebony Bonds Support https://www.instagram.com/ebonybondsupport?igsh=MW9tamdkdzZtcWI5Zg==She then speaks about how her Caribbean heritage  played a big part in her relationship with Dante while he was in her tummy, from the Soca tunes to the Coucou and flying fish meals, the pregnancy symptoms that caused random flare ups, his resemblance to his father Peter and taking only Gina’s nose. The third part of the episode Gina details what happened on the tragic day her son passed away and how the hospital failed in her care. Gina also recalls her difficult journey through parenthood and dealing with so much grief. At the end of this episode Gina also suggests a very useful resource that helped her continue moving forwards in her grief journey.Find Us on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/remembermeourbabies/Maila's Present - https://www.instagram.com/mailaspresent/Remembering Eli - https://www.instagram.com/remembering.eli/Chelsey Tookey - https://www.instagram.com/chelseytookey/
