You're Not Alone
Three Trimesters of Stories About Surviving Loss
This book is not just a single story from one person; it covers a vast cross section of both bereaved mothers and fathers, from all backgrounds. This highlights to the reader (if they have experienced loss) that they are not alone. They are given a community of support to help strengthen themselves against feelings of shame, guilt, depression, and isolation. They are given ideas about what might help them to manage their pain, and give them hope that the vastness of the despair they feel will not always engulf them so wholly. Not only does the book address aiding those who are grieving, but also, in donated proceeds, it helps to fund the research that will reduce these tragic instances in the future.
Michelle Fulton was born in Vancouver, Canada. She is a musician and author but most importantly, she is a mother to her daughter, Bella Soleil, and her son, Turner. In February 2020, her second son, Cole Vaughn Taylor, passed away just days before his due date. The experience drove her to speak out to promote awareness about pregnancy loss, not only to help herself cope, but to aid those who have experienced such loss in the past as well as those who will in the future, and to highlight the need for deeper research into the subject in hopes it can reduce such tragic outcomes in the future.
