Home Still Birth Awareness Day

What birthing options do you have, when your baby dies before birth?  Is giving birth at home an option?

How could you receive support to the many questions and concerns that come with having a planned home birth loss?  How would a home birth impact your farewell/funeral plans?

If you plan a live home birth and then endure the death of your infant at home, unexpectedly, how does that impact your grief journey?
.
Could there be feelings of blame from your family for choosing an out-of-hospital birth?  What if your midwife was not prepared to support you after the death of your baby?  What if negligence, betrayal or abandonment become interwoven in your experience?  How do you heal after such enormous rejection?  How are these factors magnified by the very relationship established in a client/midwife relationship?  Can midwives support families well even in an unexpected loss?  Beyond fears, how can you receive the support you deserve?
.
We’re going to be talking about all of these things, and more, through our newly established, December 19 – International Home Still Birth Awareness Day.   Stay near to stillbirthday.com to get this important information and awareness support.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES
«    5 of 16    »

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
