How Can I Help After The Death Of A Child | Advice From A Mother Of Stillbirth

Still A Part of Us: A podcast about pregnancy loss, stillbirth, and infant loss

Winter and Rebecca talk about the good and the bad things that have happened after the loss of Adrian, who was stillborn at 38 weeks. Rebecca loves the poem "Go to the Limits of Your Longing" by Rainer Maria Rilke

God speaks to each of us as he makes us,

then walks with us silently out of the night.

These are the words we dimly hear:

You, sent out beyond your recall,

go to the limits of your longing.

Embody me.

Flare up like a flame

and make big shadows I can move in.

Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror.

Just keep going. No feeling is final.

Don’t let yourself lose me.

Nearby is the country they call life.

You will know it by its seriousness.

Give me your hand.
