Dr. Jessica Zucker is a pioneer when it comes to normalizing pregnancy loss and miscarriages. She created the #IHadaMiscarriage campaign in 2014 (about which we interviewed her at Kveller).
Throughout the past few years, she’s worked on several different projects, including a line of empathy cards for people who have experienced miscarriage and stillbirth, as well as a line of “rainbow baby”-themed T-shirts and tote bags for moms and infants.
Her latest endeavor, however, has been collaborating with illustrators to create beautiful pictures that people can share on social media in order to normalize pregnancy loss–and build a community of support. Zucker was recently featured in the New York Times in a piece that showcased her collaboration with illustrator Ryan Alexander-Tanner. The illustrated discussion is beautiful and shows a lot of ways to be compassionate and supportive of someone who just suffered a loss.
Here’s a piece from the collection below:
