The Power of the Unsent Letter: Dear Spirit Baby with Tracy Ward

The Burn

This week we are sharing a favorite episode from the archives as we take a little break from our regular podcast schedule to enjoy Labor Day. Wildfire production assistant Monica Haro selected this episode from November 2021 to reshare. Enjoy!

Tracy Ward joins us from the United Kingdom to read a piece from Wildfire Magazine’s 2020 “Family” issue. She was diagnosed at 36 with Stage II hormone positive breast cancer.

She shares her story about holding precious placeholders in the hopes of a post-cancer baby. This is the story of one woman asking what her fertility path will ultimately reveal and does she have the strength to hang in for the waiting.
