I am the mother of five. Baby #4 was miscarried at ten weeks gestation in 1996. It was a long and lonely road, and I’ve been very conscious of how much loss families need support ever since then. Since 2000, when I was certified as a Childbirth Educator, I have been supporting families who have had pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or infant death on an informal basis. Stillbirthday offered me the opportunity to make that caring a bit more official, and furthered my education on the needs of grieving families. I am now able to add the service of a Stillbirthday Birth and Bereavement Doula to our small list of Bradford County, Pennsylvania, bereavement resources for local families.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

« ‹ 14 of 16 › »

She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.

— Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything Is Illuminated

No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.

— C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

I am strong.

— January, founder of Birth Without Fear

When someone you love dies, and you’re not expecting it, you don’t lose her all at once; you lose her in pieces over a long time—the way the mail stops coming, and her scent fades from the pillows and even from the clothes in her closet and drawers. Gradually, you accumulate the parts of her that are gone. Just when the day comes—when there’s a particular missing part that overwhelms you with the feeling that she’s gone, forever—there comes another day, and another specifically missing part.

— John Irving, A Prayer for Owen Meany

They say time heals all wounds, but that presumes the source of the grief is finite.

— Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
