Book Description
Small Spark's of Life is about coming to terms with the legacy of pregnancy loss, and the painful journey towards motherhood. It's a very personal story, and provides the sorely needed friend who 'understands what you're going through'.
Small Spark's of Life is about coming to terms with the legacy of pregnancy loss, and the painful journey towards motherhood. It's a very personal story, and provides the sorely needed friend who 'understands what you're going through'.
No two women experience miscarriage in the same way, but Small Sparks faces it in a sympathetic way, with humility and with humour. It will help others to face their sadness, and to go on and try again, to reach the climactic joy of birth that Lysanne Sizoo also so beautifully describes.
From the Author
Any miscarriage or pregnancy loss is a bereavement, often seemingly unacknowledged by the outside world. Though pregnancy loss is not uncommon, as many people will sometimes (too) quickly point out, it doesn't stop you from feeling totally alone, surrounded by pregnant friends and family members, all successfully carrying their babies to term.
I was just over thirteen weeks pregnant when I suffered my first miscarriage. My second was an ectopic pregnancy, where the embryo implants outside the womb. The third time round was a frightening but successful pregnancy, which led to the birth of our wonderful son.
We then had a few more disappointments, until I came to accept that I have many other talents, and that perhaps childbearing wasn't one of them. And so I started putting my thoughts to paper in an attempt to make sense of all that had happened, and to find out what lessons I could learn. The result became much more than I expected; the privilege to have been able to "give birth" once more, to a beautiful little jewel called Small Sparks of Life.
Having the dream to become a mother, and finding hurdles on the way there, is a painful and sorrowful process, rarely understood by those not going through it themselves. I had so many friends to rely on, but what I really needed, and what I found in the miscariage support group, was someone who knew how I felt. Someone who wouldn't condemn me for wanting to kick every pregnant woman in the supermarket queue. Someone who would understand and not condemn the jealous hateful creature I felt I was becoming. I would wish that Small Sparks of Life, can be that "someone", for someone else. I hope that it will be out there, giving comfort and hope, a companion on the road to healing process for anyone who needs it.
