Pregnancy Loss Support Survey

Pregnancy and infant loss mothers, stillbirthday wants your feedback.

May is Pregnancy Awareness Month here in the US, and so we here at stillbirthday would like to know, what have been the best – and worst – pregnancy resources that prepared you with loss information prior to your loss (so, while you were pregnant), and/or supported you during or after your loss. If the resources you utilized while pregnant ever broached the subject of loss, we want to know about it – and how well they measured up!

To clarify: this survey is about the pregnancy resources you’ve ever used – not pregnancy loss resources. How well did your pregnancy resources inform you about pregnancy loss?

To participate, please let us know about any resource within the following categories:

Pregnancy Books – BEST support

gave accurate facts, linked to support resources

Pregnancy Books – WORST support

gave poor statistics and very little information

Pregnancy Blogs – BEST support

felt connected, author was compassionate, linked to support resources

Pregnancy Blogs – WORST support

didn’t address loss at all or did so in a confusing and unsupportive way

Pregnancy Facebook Pages/Groups- BEST support

You can submit as many votes as you’d like, for as many categories as you’d like. Just leave a comment below, making sure you articulate which catories your votes belong to. At the end of the month, I will fill in the categories so we can see which pregnancy resourses have the best- or the worst – pregnancy and infant loss support!

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
