In this episode, Dana Daugherty invites her guest Tyler Brewington-Mathis to explore how she supports grieving families during hospitalizations, specifically at the intersection of grief and unexpected hospitalization during pregnancy. These experiences are not often talked about, especially loss around the expected birth experience. Tyler Brewington-Mathis is a chaplain who supports parents and their support systems as they navigate the NICU. We discuss how she walks alongside people through moments of grief and crisis, inspired by Henri Nouwen’s focus on being with someone instead of fixing the problem for them. We also discuss the ways Tyler helps people make meaning and heal as she regularly sits with and advocates for families alongside their healthcare teams, providing emotional and interfaith care. She thrives in this ministry of presence and values being present for each person who enters the hospital.
