I choose to talk about my experience because #stillbirth cannot be tiptoed around or whispered about as “unimaginable.” Babies are #stillborn at alarming rates worldwide. It is a public health crisis. Parents are grieving and traumatized. #IamISA #EndStillbirths #HopefulFutures

@dramybowers.bsky.social - a psychologist and bereaved mother - shares how denial and silence surround #stillbirth.
She’s breaking the #stigma.

#Stillbirth is largely preventable, yet remains invisible due to #stigma & under-reporting.
Prof Neelam Aggarwal calls for equity, stronger data & political commitment to reach the global of 12 or fewer #stillbirths for every 1000 births.

Not where it matters most.
But families never forget.
