My submission was based on my blog piece, Dear Little Mizuko Bean.
You can support speaking out about pregnancy loss by buying the book (I don’t receive any commission) and tweeting about it.
The book accompanies the film, Return to Zero, which will air on Lifetime in the following countries on these dates:
USA and Canada — Saturday, May 17th
UK and Ireland — Sunday, May 18th
South-East Asia — Tuesday, May 20th
Together, we are breaking the silence. Even though I am terrible at responding to emails, even though we’ve never met, and even though I don’t know what most of you look like, I love you. Thanks, as always, for reading and sharing your stories of infertility and loss with me too. Your encouraging comments and emails inspired me to send in my essay, and if it were a book I’d written, it would be dedicated to you.
Congrats Lauren! I can’t wait to read the book and see the movie! I suspect there will be lots of tears…
Thank you! It feels pretty good and has given me designs for other plans for the future… Watch this space ;)
Yeah, the movie is going to be a tearjerker, no doubt.
I cannot wait to buy the book & watch the movie on May 17th. Xoxo
It’s a really good book — I only disliked a couple of entries — and am looking forward to watching the movie too.
Congratulations on getting published.
Congrats, Lauren! I’ve been looking forward to this book and will be buying it with my next order. (Can’t order just one book at a time — that’s like eating just one potato chip!) Thank you for speaking out so honestly in this book and on your blog.
I’m so happy you found my blog this week and that in turn I found you! I look forward to going through your blog and reading your book. I sounds like we are practically the same person! We’ll have to meet up sometime when I’m down in San Diego! I’d love to pic your brain about DEIVF, writing a book, art and just how you’re doing with your pregnancy and everything. I will be praying for you and your little one. Best wishes and lots of hugs.
Well I started reading your blog recently and haven’t read everything yet. But I am so happy for you! Congratulations. It is so important to speak out!
Mille grazie, Eva. True, I sent in the submission long before we met, but you are still an important part of my journey! Thanks for travelling alongside me xx
I am so happy you’re part of my journey too! You give me strength with your courage and energy! Better to have good company on this hard path!
Thanks, Eva, it’s good to have allies!
