Synopsis

A must-read investigation of reproductive health under fire in Post-Roe America.

I'm Sorry for My Loss delves into the abyss of pregnancy loss, a topic that is misunderstood and full of guilt and shame. It is written with emotional resonance and humor by authors who have both been through it themselves. Rebecca Little and Colleen Long, childhood friends who grew up to be journalists, enlighten readers on the deep, sometimes mystifying history behind how we view pregnancy and loss, including:

• The hidden links that bind together abortion, miscarriage, terminations for medical reasons, and stillbirth
• How the history of pregnancy loss in America shapes our views today
• Recent cultural and political changes that are leading to dangerous medical care for women
• And much more

The authors interviewed more than one hundred people who have lost a pregnancy, along with dozens of historians, linguists, midwives, doctors, and therapists to create a comprehensive work that examines pregnancy loss from every angle, from the inadequacy of the words we use to the legal and medical maelstrom, and the ways in which parents have created their own mourning rituals in a culture that lacks them. I'm Sorry for My Loss is an approachable and deeply readable book about a traditionally unapproachable topic.
