• 238: Monica's unexpected wake-up

  Monica was divorced, and now a single mom with two little kids. She wasn’t looking for a relationship. Kevin was a nice guy, and he’d never been married. When they first met, there was a chemistry between them, but Monica was reluctant. Fortunately, Kevin was persistent. This is their story, and it’s a good reminder for all of us – when you have someone you love, be sure to appreciate the time you have with them now. Because sometimes the unexpected can change everything. This is a Flashback episode. Monica told this story on the podcast more than four years ago. So hang around after our conversation to find out about how Monica and her kids are doing today.

• 237: Mariela's pregnancy got complicated

  There’s really something pretty amazing about giving birth.   I mean, you are actually using your body to grow a whole new human, and then this new person comes into the world, and your whole life changes. For many people, being pregnant is a time filled with happy anticipation. You’ve probably heard people talk about this thing called the “pregnancy glow”, and it’s a real thing.   In spite of the discomfort, and nausea, and unusual food cravings and everything else that sometimes comes with having a baby inside you, the thought of holding that brand new human in your arms – your child – that’s often the thing that can help you get through it.   Mariela was pregnant. She and her husband, Stephen, were excited about growing their family.   Then, partway through the pregnancy, things got complicated.   Facebook groups recommended by Mariela: Healthy Otherwise is a Fort Worth based Breast Cancer Support Group and Community – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1337164927864563/   Pregnant With Cancer Support Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1337164927864563/   If you’d like to contact, she’s in the WWTL Facebook group – https://WhatWasThatLike.com/facebook   Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/237   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
