Have you lost a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or SIDS? Do you feel like no one understands the depth of your grief? Maybe you’re angry, bitter, depressed—or drowning in a sea of emotions that feel impossible to name, let alone explain. Perhaps you’ve heard well-meaning but hurtful comments or received advice that made you feel even more isolated. You might be wondering, Where is God in all of this? Or why our country hasn’t done more to prevent stillbirths and support grieving families.

You are not alone. And this podcast is for you.

I’m Lisa Rowell. In 2013, I gave birth to my stillborn daughter, Julianna Grace. That moment shattered my world. I didn’t know how to survive the pain. I wrestled with God, with grief, with questions no one seemed to want to answer. Ten years ago, I found myself on the edge of despair, holding a bottle of liquor and a handful of pills, ready to give up—until God stepped in and changed everything.

From the ashes of that heartbreak, a calling was born.

Through The Silent Footprints, I invite you into a space that is real, raw, and unapologetically honest about infant loss. Here, we break the silence and stigma around miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS, and early infant death. We talk about what it's like to grieve in a world that doesn’t know what to say—and how to heal when your heart feels shattered.

My Christian faith has been the foundation of my journey, and it’s through God’s strength that I found purpose in my pain. I started the Julianna Grace Ministry by creating grieving baskets for parents like me. That effort grew into funding cuddle cots and caring cradles for local hospitals—tools that allow families precious time with their babies. Later, God opened the door for me to help pass legislation in Louisiana, offering tax credits to families of stillborn babies and giving dignity through certificates of miscarriage.

This podcast isn’t just about healing—it's about action. I believe we can change the way our nation handles stillbirth and miscarriage. I believe grieving families deserve recognition, support, and resources. You’ll hear about efforts to pass laws across the country, tools like fetal monitoring apps, and ways you can advocate in your own state or even at the national level.

Through heartfelt stories, faith-filled encouragement, and practical advocacy tips, The Silent Footprints empowers grieving parents to honor their babies and reclaim their voices. Whether you're freshly grieving or years down the road, this podcast will walk with you through the valleys and help you find purpose on the other side of pain.

You may feel broken right now, but God is not finished with your story. You are not alone. Your baby’s life mattered. And your life still holds meaning.

As Psalm 27:13 says, “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” I never thought I’d feel joy again—but God made a way. Now I want to share that hope with you.

So, if you're tired of suffering in silence, if you're ready to heal, speak out, and even create change—subscribe and join me. Let’s walk this road together, one step, one story, one prayer at a time.

“Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14

    Just after the one-year anniversary of Rebecca Mitchell’s son Jonathan’s stillbirth, she came across a baby’s obituary in the Dallas newspaper and felt compelled to send the grieving mother a sympathy card. That simple act sparked a powerful friendship rooted in shared sorrow. Within weeks, they connected with two other mothers who had also experienced the unimaginable loss of a baby.

    What began as a few phone calls, emails, and meetups soon blossomed into something more — a community of healing. That’s when M.E.N.D. (Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death) was born.

    In this episode, Rebecca shares her powerful journey through grief, how M.E.N.D. came to life, and the incredible impact it has made over the past 24 years. With chapters across the country, M.E.N.D. now offers monthly support groups, remembrance ceremonies, and education for healthcare providers on compassionate care for families after loss.

    Rebecca also shares how you can start a M.E.N.D. chapter in your own community — because no one should have to grieve alone.

    To all who find themselves needing M.E.N.D., her message is clear: You are not alone. You are deeply loved, and you are surrounded by women who truly understand.

    In this powerful and emotional episode, I’m joined by Linda Znachko, founder of He Knows Your Name ministry and author of the award-winning book He Knows Your Name: How One Abandoned Baby Inspired Me to Say YES to God.

    What began as heartbreak over a baby abandoned in a dumpster became a calling that reshaped Linda’s life. She couldn’t bear the thought of a child leaving this world without dignity—and so began her mission to ensure that every life, no matter how short, is seen, named, and honored.

    💔 Hear how God led Linda to give that baby a proper burial and how that one "yes" became the foundation for a ministry that now brings names, dignity, and honor to countless children.

    Founded in 2009, He Knows Your Name is rooted in the belief that every life is sacred—whether a child took a breath or not. Linda has been called not through credentials, but through God’s equipping, to be an advocate for life—often, at the grave.

    Linda also works alongside Safe Haven Baby Boxes, raising awareness about the Safe Haven Law and educating communities on safe, life-giving alternatives for infants in crisis.

    🕊️ This episode is a must-listen if you believe in the power of honoring life, saying yes to God’s nudges, and making space for the voiceless to be remembered.

    In this short but powerful episode, I’m joined by Jen Rowray of Healthy Birth Day, Inc. and Count the Kicks to talk about an important cause—stillbirth prevention. I share my plans to travel to Washington, D.C. from September 17–19 to advocate for legislative change and life-saving awareness. One of the key efforts we’re supporting is the Shine for Autumn Act, which seeks to improve stillbirth data collection—something critically needed, as many stillbirths go unrecorded, hindering public health efforts to prevent them. The act also calls for increased access to fetal autopsy training to address the nationwide shortage of perinatal pathologists, and it aims to bring much-needed education and awareness to parents—many of whom have never even heard of stillbirth or prevention until they’ve experienced it firsthand. While in D.C., we will talk to legislators about the change we need to save lives—sharing our personal stories and the proven data that has already helped prevent countless stillbirths. We also discuss National Stillbirth Prevention Day, observed on September 19th, a day dedicated to honoring families affected by stillbirth and promoting initiatives to save lives. Additionally, we highlight the exciting launch of Count the Kicks in Louisiana, a state that loses an average of 344 babies to stillbirth each year. With its proven impact, Count the Kicks has the potential to save 1 in 3 at-risk babies—an estimated 97 lives annually in Louisiana alone. Whether you want to join us in D.C., support efforts in your local community, or help from home, this episode shows how you can be part of this life-saving movement.
