Workbook
After Stillbirth
The Birth, the Loss, and the Silence Afterwards
The birth was real. The baby was real. The grief is real. All of it can be written down.
For the parent who experienced a stillbirth and is carrying a grief that the world often does not know how to hold.
The Name It First Experience
Stillbirth sits in a particular silence. The baby was real — moving, named, waited for — and then the birth and the loss happened at the same time. The condolence cards often do not come. The questions people ask are often wrong. You are left holding a grief that has no adequate ritual. This workbook gives it one. You will document who this child was. You will write the birth and what it was. You will record the grief as it is. The output is not closure. It is The After Stillbirth Agreement.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What do you want people to know about who this baby was — before anything else?
- What happened in the room when they were born — and what do you want to have written down about that?
- What has the silence around stillbirth cost you?
Research basis
Grounded in perinatal bereavement research (Cacciatore, 2010) on stillbirth as a particularly under-ritualized loss / Continuing Bonds Theory (Klass et al.) on the ongoing relationship with a stillborn child / and disenfranchised grief frameworks (Doka) applied to the social invisibility of perinatal loss.
