WHAT TO SAY–AND WHAT NOT TO SAY–AFTER SOMEONE HAS A MISCARRIAGE by Jessica Zucker, Illustrated by Ryan Alexander-Tanner
It is pregnancy loss and infant loss awareness month.
This comic was originally published at Bitch. Be sure to check out the next installment of Jessica Zucker’s #IHadAMiscarriage campaign, which launched in 2014. In 2015, Dr. Zucker created a line of pregnancy loss cards that we featured in an interview at MUTHA. This year, she has added t-shirts and totes. All in an effort to: de-stigmatize, de-silence, de-shame miscarriage; promote support, connection, community; foster conversations about this taboo topic; own our stories and, ultimately, change the culture surrounding pregnancy loss. To submit your story to Dr. Zucker’s campaign: @IHadAMiscarriage.
Dr. Zucker has collaborated frequently with cartoonist Ryan Alexander-Tanner, an award-winning Portland-based artist and educator. More about Ryan and his work here!
