Henry’s Story: A Mother’s Journey Through NICU Loss

September is National NICU and Infant Mortality Awareness Month and today on September 10th—Henry's birthday—we honor his life with this special episode of the NFTS Podcast.
Hosts Robin Boudreau and Ali Maahs are joined by Courtney Fitzpatrick, who opens her heart to share about her angel Henry’s birth, NICU journey, and the sacred hours she and her husband spent holding him, loving him, and saying goodbye.
Courtney reflects on the heartbreak of leaving the hospital without her firstborn, the ongoing journey of grief, and the hope that came with welcoming Henry’s little brother, Elliot. She also shares how she found connection and healing through No Foot Too Small's virtual support groups and a community of parents who choose to walk this road together.

• The reality of NICU loss and the trauma families face
• Why remembrance matters for parents who don’t bring their babies home
• The role of support groups in helping families process grief and find connection
• How Courtney carries Henry’s story forward while parenting after loss
