Shermica and Winter talk about what helped Shermica after the lose of Zai, who was stillborn at 39 weeks. Shermica talks about having her aunts around her to pull her out of the darker parts of depression. And how she was able to have a painting of Zai commissioned for her to pick up right from the airport so it didn't feel like she was arriving home so empty.
