Melinda is a bereaved mother and maternal death survivor from Colorado. She is active in healing work, speaking, and volunteering.
She lost her only son Oak at six months gestation. Melinda was in a coma when he was delivered. Oak’s name came from the pregnancy nickname she and her husband chose by the banks of Oak Creek where they got married. He is their rooted angel.
Melinda is forever damaged yet inspired by her physical and emotional scars. On her healing journey, she is encouraged by Oak – and his many visits – and chooses to tell her story, scars and all, in the hopes of bringing healing to others.
