Replacing silence with storytelling around
Pregnancy and Infant Loss and Infertility!
Hey, Sister in Loss!
My name is Erica M. Freeman and I help black women gain clarity and peace no matter life’s challenges, circumstances, and hurts. I love encouraging those who have experienced a Miscarriage, Infant Loss, or Infertility that they are not alone, and empowering them to tell their stories to inspire others. Join me weekly here as share stories of Grief & Pregnancy Loss on the Sisters in Loss Podcast, and my journey as a Special Needs Mom.
Kind Words from the Community
Did you know...
Losing a baby though miscarriage, elective termination, stillbirth, childbirth, after a NICU stay, SIDS, or any other time is, without a doubt, one of the most difficult experiences that you will ever endure. It is a tragic and drastic experience that thousands of people face everyday, not knowing how to navigate these feelings of despair.
Approximately 15-20% of confirmed pregnancies end in miscarriage.
In the US, the rates of SIDS affects between 5,000-7,000 infants every year.
In the US, the rate of stillbirth is documented as 1 in 160-200 pregnancies.
In the US, approximately 11,300 infants die within 24 hours of their birth each year
In the US, according to the CDC Black women are 4-5 times more likely to die due to pregnancy related causes than white counterparts.
This means 1 out of 4 women have experienced a loss of some kind.
Maybe its a friend of yours, a relative, a church member, or maybe it was you. I want you to know that there are other women out here like you and I. We need a safe place and community to help navigate these feelings of grief and loss, and postpartum distress.
I am here to help you navigate those feelings by giving you a safe community to share your Grief & Loss story. Allow me to help you Share your Story because it needs to be told to inspire others to keep seeking God to grant them the desires of their hearts, a child.
“I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. 1 Samuel 1:27”
