Meri Coleman shares her story in an audio version of one night in March that she will never forget.

Eatontown,NJ, 10/28/23 PORTRAIT: Portrait of Meri Coleman standing outside of her work at Steron Packaging, where she helps her brother package and ship goods.

It was March of 2004, Freehold, NJ. At the time being 3 months pregnant the family was thrilled about having a second child in the family. Meri just had dinner with her husband and 15 year old daughter. Later, Meri goes to the bathroom to find blood on her clothes. Putting the pieces together, Meri realized the great possibility of a miscarriage of her unborn child.

With no time to think, Meri yelled for her husband. Meri tells her point of view of the horrors of the long drive to the hospital, and all her internal thoughts. Guiding the listener through her point of view and five senses. A nightmare possibility of a potential miscarriage. Meri reveals the night in great detail and pain.
