SOL Affirmations with Karega & Felicia

Healing Families with Kennedy's Angel Gowns

Episode Summary

Angel parenthood comes to everyone differently, and everyone processes uniquely. Karega and Felicia first came to know of  Heather and Demitri Wilson when they were invited to be guest speakers at their event, "The Angel Ball". It was then that they came to know their story. Seven years after losing their daughter Kennedy on August 17, 2009, the idea of sewing burial gowns for infants came to Heather Wilson‘s mind. Kennedy didn’t have an appropriate or properly fitted gown for her burial, but Heather hoped others didn’t have to face the same problem. Dedicating herself to sewing “angel gowns” and together helping others in their time of grief is the best way the Wilsons keep the memory of Kennedy alive. Listen in as Heather and Demitri share not only what keeping Kennedy's memory alive does for their grief, but how they continue to process and honor her today and always.
