A difficult yet moving and supportive book for anyone who has experienced pregnancy/baby loss at any stage. It would also be a helpful book for anyone who would like to understand the experience.
One of the hardest parts about both fertility struggles and pregnancy/baby loss, is that you feel like you're going through it alone. This book isn't an easy read so do make sure you’re in a head space that can take it. But there are lots of words of comfort in here too. Validation and understanding 💕

A beautiful, thoughtful and well written book about the all too often taboo subject of baby loss. It helped me through the nights at the hospital after my PPROM and eventual loss.
The book itself holds space and explores all the facets of loss and grief, and it does help to read other women’s experiences with loss, especially when it can feel like we are surrounded by happily pregnant people. It helps you feel not quite so alone.

This is probably the first time I am writing a review before reading a sentence inside the book.
Let me give a context here.
This book popped up in my twitter timeline from @timesbooks. I got to see the book details as well as a lot of comments from random strangers all over the world. And not all of them were emphatic. Some even went to the extent to blame the author of ulterior motives or earning money from personal tragedy. That is uncalled for. When a parent and especially a mother wants to share her hurt and pain, it is just that. Let us try and be a support instead of calling her out.
While I am a mother and blessed with a 4 year old son, I have been a part of the lives of my friends and colleagues when they lost their babies. The shame, the blame the constant reminders to the mother's that they aren't good enough, that they did something wrong and the many unsolicited advice that comes from even strangers is actually difficult to believe unless someone has faced them or seen anyone facing them.
I mean please give the mother's a break. No mother wants to harm their own baby. That it is god's will things went another way is not anybody's fault and definitely not the mother's.
I hope this book creates the required discussion and the help required by grieving mothers. This book actually touches a raw nerve.
Personal Note :- We are there and we are listening. Please reach out in case it feels ok.
