a collection of women's stories
miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy termination, stillbirth, neonatal death, infant death
I wanted so desperately to find even just one woman who tried to dig up her baby from his grave... just one other woman who was filled with anger, abandonment and isolation... just one other woman, well... who fought to get through this journey from hell and who refused to bury her child a second time, with her silence.
I found more than one. This book is those womens stories.
About the Author
Paula Long is a mother to two living children, four miscarried babies, and Kadin, her son who was born still at term. During her darkest grief, she created a support and resource organization to find other women to talk with. Yearning for a book that allowed women to share their "entire stories," she decided to create that book herself. Thus, Honored Babies, both the web site organization and the book, was born. Paula refuses to be silent about not only her stillborn son, but also stands as an advocate and an ally to other mothers who also refuse to be silent and silenced.
