Understanding Stillbirth and Infant Loss

Losing a child at any stage is a devastating experience that no parent should face alone. The grief can feel isolating, and families often struggle to find the right support. In the United States, 1 in 175 pregnancies ends in stillbirth, a loss that occurs at 20 weeks or later. Each of these losses represents a cherished life, a family’s dreams, and countless unspoken words.
