Pregnancy loss has a profound impact and it is often a silent grief. Parents feel vulnerable and overwhelmed by the trauma and memories of their loss. It leaves them needing a safe haven, a soft place to fall and simply be with their grief.
I am passionate about writing down the things that are important, especially in the context of grief and trauma. Journalling can provide us with a means for tapping into our thoughts, of expressing them, of giving them a voice. Journalling can be our safe place, our safe haven, where we can simply be with our grief. It can help us make sense of the senseless. It can help us process our memories over time. It can preserve those memories.
My Baby, My Grief, My Love can be that safe place for you. This book is designed to help you tell your own story of love and loss in your own words. In telling you a little of my own story as well, I hope this will help you feel less alone in your experience and that it will help you feel understood and validated in this most traumatic event of your life.
Most of all, I hope that as time goes on, you will see that your grief is actually a beautiful expression of your love that keeps you emotionally connected to your sweet baby. He/she may no longer be in your arms, but they are safe in your heart and there you carry them with each brave step you take, every day, for the rest of your life.
