I would love to hear your story of infertility, pregnancy loss, or infant/newborn loss. Sharing your story can be a very helpful, healing experience and helps others going through a similar loss. Your story matters.
Stories may be emailed to infantlossstories@gmail.com in either a doc or pdf format.
Some guidelines to keep in mind if submitting your story:
- I have found it is most helpful to write about your experience at least a year later. This allows time for processing and perspective. None of our stories are finished, so it is ok if you are still in the healing process!
- I can accept stories of almost any length, but in general prefer that they be between 500-2,500 words
- It can be particularly helpful to include ways that you have processed your experience, how you have found hope and/or healing (it’s ok if you’re still working on that!), and what advice you would give to others going through a similar loss.
- If you prefer anonymity, please let me know. Your story can be published under a pseudonym or with initials. I will never use your last name. I will contact you before publishing your story on the site and may suggest some basic edits for clarity and flow. In general I want to stay out of the way to allow you to tell your story in your own authentic voice.
