Community Spotlight: Vu-An Foster, Life After 2 Losses
Recognizing the limits of available grief and loss support after two preventable second-trimester pregnancy losses, Vu-An Foster decided to take action and launched Life After 2 Losses (LA2L) in 2018. Through programs designed in response to community needs, LA2L, an NJBEFA 2022 grantee, is supporting women, families, and communities as they cope with loss and build confidence in their decision-making abilities during conception, pregnancy, labor, childbirth, and postpartum.
