Charla is the mother of three beautiful boys \u2014 Mason, Emmett, and Garrison. Emmett was born sleeping. Charla and her husband went to the hospital expecting to welcome their baby boy into the world, but instead heard the words no parent should ever hear: \u201cI\u2019m sorry, your baby doesn\u2019t have a heartbeat.\u201d Their lives were changed in an instant. Nothing in life prepares a parent for that kind of loss. The grief never fully goes away. Yet through the heartbreak, Charla has discovered an inner strength she never knew she had. In the years since losing Emmett, she has learned to carry both love and grief at the same time \u2014 and she has chosen to honor her son by sharing her story and lighting the way for others walking through similar pain. On Emmett\u2019s first birthday, Charla shared a reflection that captured both the heartbreak and beauty of motherhood. She wrote that Emmett made them parents again. He filled their hearts with love and joy. Losing him showed them the strength they didn\u2019t know they had. He brought their family closer and transformed their lives forever. Charla still wonders what his laugh would have sounded like, what color his eyes would have been, and what his smile would have looked like \u2014 but she knows his light continues to shine through the love he left behind. This episode is part of our Every Woman, Every Girl campaign \u2014 celebrating the truth that every woman and every girl has power, purpose, and a story worth telling. Charla\u2019s story embodies that truth with so much grace and courage.
