From Heartbreak to Healing

“Beyond Pregnancy Loss – From Heartbreak to Healing”  started as a concept for a simple eBook and after a year of intense research and growth has turned into a published book for those who want to reach a place of healing after significant heartbreak.

The emotions of joy and love do not suddenly appear when a baby is born.  These emotions can start at the moment we see a positive result on a home pregnancy test.  When we experience the loss of a baby we need to realise that this is exactly what it is – the death of a baby.  Pregnancy loss brings an end to a very special bond that has been created between mother, father and child, an attachment that is very real from the day of conception.

We don’t talk much about pregnancy loss so we don’t have a rich resource to draw on, to support us in finding our own way through this life changing process.  Without a greater awareness of this experience it’s hard for people to express everything they hold in their hearts and to find the opportunities to grow and learn amongst the sadness bewilderment and pain.

It may seem difficult to comprehend the degree of pain and grief that some people attach to this experience but pregnancy loss is such a deeply intimate experience that we must be conscious not to hold anyone to our personal standard of pain and moving on.

Every loss is unique and as different as we are individuals.  Recognising this difference, the significance and affirming the right to openly grieve is an important first step in understanding the often silent pain that is pregnancy loss.
