Rebecca Kubenk IBCLC CD SBD CPES

I am a mother of five, three singletons and twins.

My Angel Baby, my second child, was miscarried at twenty weeks gestation.

After the loss of my baby, it took a long time to conceive again both physically and emotionally, with the help of IVF I conceived twins, followed by a naturally conceived singleton.

I began working as a Breastfeeding Counsellor in 2004, with the ABA, after the birth of my fifth child. I went on to become an IBCLC in 2009, assisting mothers in the fourth trimester with breastfeeding and guiding them through decisions after a perinatal loss.

In 2011, I completed a Certificate IV in Doula Services working as a Certified Doula. Meeting several mothers who had also endured a perinatal loss led me to Stillbirthday.

Stillbirthday has provided me with the opportunity to make caring for families more official, and furthered my education on the needs of bereaved families.

I welcome the opportunity to donate my time to support families who are expecting a loss or who have experienced an unexpected loss at any point in their pregnancy.

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
