Thanks For Being Here - Jessica Slice's "Unfit Parent" Story
About this episode
In the space between wanting and receiving, between hope and heartbreak, lies the tender territory of human need. This week, we share an excerpt from Jessica Slice's book Unfit Parent about the night her second child entered the world through another woman's body and how love and trauma can occupy the same breath. Her story moves through hospital corridors and sleepless hours, through the weight of knowing that someone you care about has suffered so you might hold what you've longed for. It's a meditation on the fragile web that holds us all - the friends who bring food and sit in driveways, the hands that help us breathe and the truth that our most broken moments might also be our most beautiful ones.
