Bex and Laura really have pieced together the parachute we all need to help us land safely after falling into the world of loss and fertility struggles. Elle Wright, author of A Bump In The Road

A practical and emotional self-help guide for anyone affected by miscarriage and pregnancy loss, from the co-hosts of the successful podcast, The Worst Girl Gang Ever.

Following pregnancy loss, it can feel like you've forgotten how to speak and need to learn a new language. You can tell your story to a room full of people but if no-one speaks this new language, they won’t understand. They will try but ultimately, they won’t fully grasp what you are saying.

This is us. This is our new language. It is a language built from pain, and it is a language we need to teach others. Welcome to our gang.

We are so, so sorry that you’ve found yourself here. It’s the gang you’d never choose to join, but it is also a community chock-a-block full of kind, supportive, warrior women just like you.

We are here to tell you that you are entitled to grieve, and that your grief is not disproportionate to your loss. We are here to open up the dialogue around miscarriage, so we don’t perpetuate the shame, judgement and isolation so many of us feel following pregnancy loss. We are here to equip you with knowledge, tools and guidance to support and help you in whatever way you need.

Let’s get talking. Let’s get sharing. Let’s start empowering and supporting one another.

No more shame, no more taboo, no more silence.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Praised for its compassionate and relatable approach, the book is described as a "parachute" to help those struggling with loss, providing support akin to a kind friend. Elle Wright calls it "thoughtful, helpful, and a little bit sweary," while Nell Frizzell notes the authors' role in shifting public consciousness about miscarriage. OK highlights their powerful message: "We get you. And we've got you."
