Stillborn

Summary

Losing a child before they take their first breath is an indescribable pain—one that lingers in the heart, reshaping the world as we know it. No parent expects to say goodbye before they say hello. Yet, for those who have experienced stillbirth, this heartbreaking reality becomes a defining moment, one that forever alters their journey through life. The silence of a delivery room, the emptiness of arms that were meant to cradle, and the dreams that vanish in an instant—these are the wounds that so many carry, often in solitude. 

Grief after stillbirth is unique. It is a grief that comes with memories that were never made, with birthdays that will never be celebrated, and with a love so strong yet without a place to go. It is a pain that is often misunderstood, leaving parents feeling isolated in their sorrow. This book is a space for that grief—a place where your pain is acknowledged, your baby is remembered, and your heart is given permission to heal in its own time. 

In the aftermath of loss, many parents struggle to find words for their emotions. The world around them often moves on too quickly, expecting them to heal at a pace that feels impossible. Friends and family may not always understand, unintentionally offering words that hurt more than they heal. Some parents are left feeling as though their baby’s existence is slipping away, as if their grief is something to be hidden or minimized. But your love for your child does not fade, and neither should their memory.
