New Zealand mom Tessa Prebble’s daughter Eva was born with complex disabilities. Sadly, the little girl passed away at the age of 10 months.

The bereaved mom faced the unbearable challenge of getting on with life without her baby girl. But Tessa found strength in the knowledge that her story could help others. She then produced a series of podcasts that featured the journey of parents with their rare children.
