Immediate Decisions Book

These little booklets, about 200 pages, contain the most frequently visited pages of stillbirthday:

**Types of Loss (“what’s happening” and how it’s explained compassionately)
**Birth Methods (“what my provider told me we need to do” and how it’s explained personally)
**Birth Plans (“how can I still have options from within the birth method my provider and I think is best?”) I’m planning on having a stack of them outside of The M0M Center for parents to pick up immediately if they’re experiencing an impending loss, but it might be something for ultrasound technicians, emergency rooms, maternity units or crisis pregnancy centers to have on hand.
Includes commentary and helpful healing activity and quotes pages.

We also have helpful hospital brochures
you can print and freely distribute from this page about our doulas.

Right now the Immediate Decisions books are available in English, Spanish and German versions, and include shipping.

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
