Bode Millerand his wife Morgan recentlywelcomed twin boysjust overone year aftertheir daughter Emeline Griertragically drownedat 19 months old.
But Morgan, 32, feels like Emeline has been with her through the entire experience — from pregnancy to the twins’ dramatic arrival that saw Bode jump in with his mom todeliver the boyswhen their midwife didn’t make it in time.
“Talk about divine intervention with this entire delivery,” Morgan tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, on newsstands Friday. “There’s no question in my mind that she had her hand in all of this. She’s still very much here.”
As friends and family have reached out to congratulate her and the Olympic skier, 42, after the Nov. 8 arrival of theiryet-to-be-named newborns, Morgan appreciates how loved ones also remember the couple’s late daughter during this time.

“It’s been really special because everybody celebrates this with us but they also at the same time remember Emmy,” Morgan says. “And that makes it special that she’s not forgotten.”
The pro beach volleyball player reflected on having children since losing Emeline (she welcomed sonEaston Vaughn Rekin October 2018 and was pregnant with him when herdaughter diedin June 2018) when sheannounced her latest pregnancyin August.
She continued, “The fear of birthing my son and what that meant …..a monumental step forward….proof that time continued without her when all I wanted was for time to stop. But let me say this….I couldn’t have been more wrong.”

Now Morgan hopes to find her groove as the mom to identical newborn boys, along with Easton, 13 months, and sonEdward Nash Skan, 4, plus Bode’s children, son Samuel Nathaniel, 6, and daughter Neesyn Dace, 11.
“For me the biggest challenge has not so much been having two babies, it’s two babies and a 13-month-old and a 4-year-old who both still really need a lot of love and a lot of attention,” she continues to PEOPLE.
