Description

Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss and fertility struggles. Elle Wright, author of A Bump In The Road
A practical and emotional self-help guide for anyone affected by miscarriage and pregnancy loss, from the co-hosts of the successful podcast, The Worst Girl Gang Ever.

Following pregnancy loss, it can feel like youve forgotten how to speak and need to learn a new language. You can tell your story to a room full of people but if no-one speaks this new language, they wont understand. They will try but ultimately, they wont fully grasp what you are saying.

This is us. This is our new language. It is a language built from pain, and it is a language we need to teach others. Welcome to our gang.

We are so, so sorry that youve found yourself here. Its the gang youd never chose to join but it is also a community chock-a-block full of kind, supportive, warrior women just like you.

We are here to tell you that you are entitled to grieve, and that your grief is not disproportionate to your loss. We are here to open up the dialogue around miscarriage, so we dont perpetuate the shame, judgement and isolation so many of us feel following pregnancy loss. We are here to equip you with knowledge, tools and guidance to support and help you in whatever way you need.

Lets get talking. Lets get sharing. Lets start empowering and supporting one another.

No more shame, no more taboo, no more silence.

Reviews

Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss and fertility struggles. Its like the kind friend who climbs down into the hole with you through the worst parts, and gives you a leg back up when youre ready to try again. Thoughtful, helpful, and a little bit sweary my kind of manual! Elle Wright, Feathering the Empty Nest and author of A Bump In The Road

[Bex and Laura] are here to offer support to others and smash the stigma of baby loss, with their powerful mantra: We get you. And weve got you.OK
