I'm Sorry for My Loss: An Urgent Examination of Reproductive Care in America

by Rebecca Little

“When my baby died, I became a magnet for other’s stories of loss. People from all facets of my life were coming out of the woodwork to comfort me with their own tragedies—miscarriages, stillbirths, and infant deaths. I immersed myself in support groups and heard all these stories of loss. I gained so much empathy. I feel horrible that’s what it took, but it completely changed me. It broke my heart and lit this rage in me. Anyone who shits on loss parents, I’m going to fight you. I’m going to stand up for anyone who has to go through this hell and have barriers to access the healthcare they need and deserve.”26
