Miscarriage is so common and yet within our culture it is an unspeakable subject. Women often grieve alone, mourning a child they have never met but whose future they have already imagined. It is a private, hidden kind of grief. A grief that gets gagged, buried, overlooked, dismissed, and stuffed into small corners-only to bubble up at unexpected moments. In The Sound of Silence twenty-two women speak out about their experiences of miscarriage. These are stories of loss and loneliness, hope and joy, strength and courage, and, most of all, overwhelming love. They are a reminder to all women who have experienced a miscarriage that they are not alone. 'An open, honest and insightful book that offers hope and understanding.' Trudi Penrose-Starr, co-founder, TLC Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Australia 'Confronting, authentic and grounded, these stories provide practical help for others who share the loss.'
