In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my cousin to share Part 1 of her heartbreaking and courageous story. At just 32 weeks pregnant, she experienced the unimaginable — the loss of her baby and a traumatic ICU stay that followed. Despite begging for help, her concerns were ignored. This conversation sheds light on the cracks in our healthcare system and the emotional toll of being dismissed when it matters most.
