Description
"Rebecca Little and Colleen Long are journalists and childhood friends who both experienced pregnancy losses past 20 weeks. In the days, weeks, and months that followed, they searched desperately for information to help them process what they had been through. But they found nothing. So, Rebecca and Colleen began to research. Diving deep into the history, culture, and science around pregnancy loss, they discovered that the helplessness and loneliness they felt was not a coincidence. Over the past several decades, American culture has been placing more and more emphasis on the rights and life of the fetus-at the cost and well-being of the mother. Politics, history, racism, misogyny, capitalism, and medicine have been working separately and together to choke off grief related to pregnancy loss. In their first book, I'm Sorry for My Loss, Rebecca and Colleen weave together deep research into laws, pop culture, medicine, and history with powerful personal narratives to offer readers a comprehensive sociological look at how pregnancy loss came to be so stigmatized and what a system of more compassionate care could and should look like"--,Provided by publisher.
