Miscarriage and stillbirth are generally misunderstood, often overlooked and almost always minimized. Fifteen to twenty percent of pregnant women personally experience a miscarriage in the U.S. each year. One in 200 pregnant women experience a stillbirth. About seven in 1000 babies die before their first birthday. Countless others watch as their friends and family go through these losses.
Yet prenatal loss hardly ever makes the headlines. Even those individuals who are trained to care for people during loss are often at a loss themselves.
Grief over the loss of a baby is generally quite private. After all, the tiny person didn’t get a chance to be properly introduced to the world. The mother and father are hit the hardest with grief. Sometimes their closest friends and family members will share in the grief for a season. Often it can feel like only a handful of people care.
Many couples feel the grief over miscarriage or stillbirth years after the loss. Others close up their feelings and try their best to move forward. For those who have felt the personal pain of losing a baby, the emotions, questions and grief need to be felt, answered, and worked through.
Is there any hope for moms and dads of miscarried and stillborn babies? Where can you look for healing and hope amongst the pain and grief?
There is hope and there can be healing. After experiencing a second trimester miscarriage, I designed this website with people like you in mind. This is intensely personal to me. I hope that it speaks to your heart, offers you hope, and gives you permission to grieve over your very real loss.
Welcome to Baby Grief!
