Dear Grandparents | Letter 4: A family’s NICU story

About this episode

Letter 4 in the NICU awareness month mini series. A Letter About Family, Serious Childhood Illness & The People Who Show Up. Katherine writes a heartfelt letter to the grandparents who supported her family through 18 months of serious childhood illness, hospital stays and her daughter’s heart surgery. She reflects on the complicated emotions of medical parenting, the helplessness of watching your child suffer, and the grandparents who quietly carry their own fear while supporting their children and grandchildren.
