I HAD A MISCARRIAGE came into the world one year ago today! A culmination of years dedicated to creating a ruckus; begging culture to normalize the conversation around pregnancy and infant loss. This book—and the community we’ve collectively created—are no doubt a couple of the most gratifying accomplishments of my life. Because of you, and our refusal to let our stories stay silent, we’ve made a serious dent in the zeitgeist. Take a look around. Things have changed... Together we’ve created a more nuanced and compassionate landscape for ourselves and future generations of women when it comes to this ubiquitous experience. This is no small feat. I am in awe over the fact that grief has the capacity to catapult culture into a better version of itself. I am humbled by the intensely meaningful praise and accolades this book received. I am indelibly changed by my miscarriage, pregnancy after pregnancy loss, creating this campaign and writing this book. Thank you for being such an intimate part of this wild and weighty time in my life. May we persist in sharing—in hushed tones or from rooftops—our pain, our passion, and our profoundly transformative moments. #ihadamiscarriage #miscarriage #pregnancyloss #stillbirth #tfmr #grief #loss #lifeafterloss // Book cover by the extraordinary @samanthajhahn.
