Pregnancy Loss, Stillbirth, and Healing Through Motherhood (#71)

In 2021, blogger and creator of The Mommy Codes Julie Barzman experienced the devastating stillbirth of her son, Blake — a loss that forever changed her life. Alongside the pain of losing her child and her own mother, Julie found herself navigating grief while also stepping into motherhood again with her daughter, Zoe.

Through writing and sharing her story, Julie has built a community for other mothers coping with loss, grief, and healing. Her voice is both vulnerable and empowering, offering comfort, solidarity, and hope to anyone walking a similar path.

This episode explores the heartbreak of pregnancy loss, the challenges of grieving while mothering, and the ways storytelling and community can become powerful tools for healing.

About DEAD Talks

  DEAD Talks with David Ferrugio approaches death differently. Each guest shares raw stories of grief, loss, or unique perspectives that challenge the “don’t talk about death” taboo. Grief doesn’t end—it evolves. After losing his father on September 11th at just 12 years old, David discovered the power of conversation. Through laughter, tears, and honest dialogue, DEAD Talks helps make it a little easier to talk about death, mourning, trauma, and the life that continues beyond it.
