Miscarriage is a common experience, affecting up to 25% of pregnancies. Yet, it remains a taboo topic, shrouded in secrecy and shame. In her powerful and moving book, Coming to Term, Jessica Zucker breaks the silence surrounding miscarriage and offers a compassionate and comprehensive guide for healing and recovery.

Drawing on her own experience with miscarriage, as well as her work with countless other women who have experienced this loss, Zucker provides invaluable insights into the physical, emotional, and social challenges faced by those who have miscarried. She explores the complex emotions of grief, anger, guilt, and shame, and offers practical tools for coping with these emotions and finding healing.

Zucker also challenges the prevailing medical model of miscarriage, which often dismisses it as a minor inconvenience. She argues that miscarriage is a significant event that can have a profound impact on a woman's physical and mental health. She calls for a more compassionate and supportive approach to miscarriage care, one that recognizes the unique needs of women who have experienced this loss.

Coming to Term is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the often-overlooked topic of miscarriage. It is a must-read for anyone who has experienced this loss, as well as for healthcare providers, therapists, and other professionals who work with women who have miscarried.
