NFTS Podcast hosts, Jackie Celske and Robin Boudreau, are joined by Dr. Lyndsey Day—OBGYN physician, loss mom, and advocate—as she shares how the tragic loss of her daughter Ada changed the way she practices medicine and supports grieving families.
Long before her personal experience, Dr. Day had witnessed the heartbreak of pregnancy and infant loss in her role as a physician. But it wasn’t until she walked through her own loss that she truly understood what bereaved parents need in their most vulnerable moments.
Finding purpose in her pain, she helped lead the creation of a birthing and bereavement suite at Genesis Medical Center in Davenport, Iowa—the second of its kind in the state, in partnership with No Foot Too Small. This sacred space is designed for families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss, offering dignity, memory-making, and support when it matters most.
🎧 In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Day opens up about:
Released during Bereaved Parents Month, this episode is both a tribute and a call to action: to say their names, to create space for grief, and to transform how we care for families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss.
