Leah Mele-Bazaz is a wife, mother, teacher, and writer. When Leah gave birth to her stillborn daughter, Laila, she didn't know how to handle this type of grief. She went through depression and isolation and had trouble finding ways to show she was a mother. She started writing her memoir days after she came home from the hospital without her baby and kept a daily journal documenting her grief. With encouragement from her writing mentor, she turned her observations and experiences into a manuscript; Laila: Held for a Moment is forthcoming with Kat Biggie Press (October 2022).
