About What Was Lost: Twenty Writers on Miscarriage, Healing, and Hope

Pregnancy loss is unbelievably painful, and no two losses are exactly alike. This book helped me through my grieving process and I suspect it has the potential to help many others. Whether you are in the mist of your own grief, or are trying to understand someone else going through it, this book provides vast insight and hope.

20 different sharings on miscarriage. Some had successful pregnancies and some didn't. Some women made the difficult decision to abort their pregnancy. Excellent variety of lifestyles and personal sharings.

this book helped me so much after the loss of my son. i would recommend it to anyone.

This anthology is a powerful read for all women, those who have experienced miscarriage themselves and for those who have not. It is a celebration of women, their strength, and their common experience. Having suffered two miscarriages myself, this was the first time I have read something that put so many of my feelings into words and validated them for me. In an experience that can often make you feel all too alone, this book can help you to realize that you are not. Thank you for writing so beautifully on such an important topic.

About What Was Lost begins a discussion that is long overdue. So many women suffer in silence after a miscarriage...How wonderful that we can now turn to the pages of Jessica's anthology for much needed support. These stories a varied and provide different perspectives but all speak to the sacredness of womanhood. Excellent!
