To Tend and to Hold: Honoring Our Bodies, Our Needs, and Our Grief Through Pregnancy and Infant Loss - Hardcover

You Are Not Alone: A Gentle Companion for Enduring, Grieving, and Healing from Pregnancy and Infant Loss

"We, too, are postpartum after pregnancy and infant loss," says Eileen Santos Rosete. "And we deserve the same care all who give birth need, with an added sensitivity to our grief and our trauma."

Pregnancy loss. Infant loss. Womb loss. Such losses are as valid as any other, yet these experiences and the individuals who endure them remain largely unrecognized and unsupported. To Tend and To Hold honors survivors and the depth of what they've gone through with a reverence that has, until now, been missing.

Within this carefully crafted resource, Rosete emerges as a warm confidante, helping us articulate our experiences, understand our options, and tend to our unique needs as both postpartum and bereaved, helping you:

- Center Your Needs: Listen to what your body is calling for and honor what feels supportive in the moment
- Use Your Voice: Articulate your experiences with words that resonate and comfort
- Understand Your Journey: Gain insights that put your feelings and experiences into context
- Access Healing Tools: Utilize simple grief and trauma-informed practices tailored to meet your needs

Woven with threads of wisdom from a trusted collective of health and healing arts practitioners, comforting stories, nourishing postpartum recipes, and grounding embodiment practices, To Tend and To Hold is a heartfelt, holistic source of solace for all who bear loss.
