It All Belongs: Poems and Essays

"This book is a powerful reminder that miscarriage is not simply a medical event, but a relational, emotional, and identity-shaping moment in a woman's life." Meighan Patton, DO // Family Medicine Physician // Acropolis HealthI see you ...I never imagined I would find myself among the one in four women who miscarry. None of us does. Yet miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy in the United States, occurring in 15-20 percent of clinically-recognized pregnancies, or 750,000-1,000,000 cases annually. Despite its frequency, miscarriage remains shrouded in shame and silence, and its emotional impact has not been sufficiently investigated.Through poems and essays, I share my miscarriage story in the hopes that others won't feel so alone in this deeply personal journey and that perhaps, collectively, we can usher in deeper healing and love. Whether you are going through a miscarriage or loving someone who has joined this "club," I hope you will find yourself feeling supported, heard, and loved during a rather lonesome and unacknowledged time. You are not alone; there are so many of us. "As a healthcare practitioner, this book has elevated my commitment to holding space for every emotion while helping patients reconnect with their bodies.
