The Still Hopeful Podcast
Welcome to The Still Hopeful Podcast, where we talk about the twists and turns of pregnancy after loss and the highs and lows of life postpartum. I’m Serena, a mom who knows this journey firsthand. My first baby, my sweet Christopher, was stillborn at full term, and now I hold my precious baby girl, Veronica, in my arms. Christopher’s loss, the uncertainty of pregnancy afterward, and the joy of welcoming Veronica home are all parts of my story.
I created this podcast to share my experience and connect with others who understand. Here, we’ll talk openly about grief, the challenges of pregnancy after loss, and the ups and downs of parenting all of our babies. Whether you’re navigating a new pregnancy after experiencing pregnancy loss, or parenting after loss, you’re not alone. Let’s walk this road together with honesty, hope, and healing.

Episode 24: Carmen's Story of Hope
In this episode, I sit down with Carmen to hear her incredible story—seven heartbreaking losses and four beautiful earth-side children. After losing her son Jude in August 2020, Carmen turned to the diaries she had written for each of her babies. What started as a way to process her grief turned into something much bigger.
Her book, A Diary to My Babies: Journeying Through Pregnancy Loss, takes us through the raw and real moments of her experience. She opens up about everything—from the overwhelming heartbreak of grief to finding strength in the little signs and moments that reminded her she wasn’t alone.
Carmen’s story is raw, honest, and full of hope. Join us as she shares how she navigated the pain, found healing, and turned her journey into something that’s helping others feel less alone. This conversation is real, emotional, and one you don’t want to miss.
