Infertility & Pregnancy Loss

How you grieve your pregnancy loss is a personal thing

It’s often said that every pregnancy is different. In the same way, every pregnancy loss is different. How do you grieve for a person that you never met? A person who doesn’t have a birthday? A person who doesn’t have a name?

"At Least You Know You Can Get Pregnant" – Why this consolation is not helpful

A letterboard that says "At Least You Know You Can Get Pregnant" next to a notebook and a black and white dotted pillow on a green blanket.

I’ve heard the consolation “at least you know you can get pregnant” many times. Here’s why it’s not helpful but actually quite hurtful and what to say instead.

This book was absolutely delightful! Thank you @harpercollinsca for the advance review copy. THE ROMANCE RECIPE is a lovely romance between two stubborn, talented, snarky women: Amy, owner of Amy & May's, and Sophie, Amy & May's head chef. Both have some hang ups from life before this restaurant that cause some hurdles they need to overcome. This book is both steamy and sweet. It has lighthearted and heavy moments. CW: references to death by cancer, emotional abuse, coming out.

I don't read a ton of historical fiction these days. But when I do, it's historical romance and goodness, I'm enjoying this series. #CurrentlyReading #AmReading #RomanceNovel #RomanceEditor #BookCoach #Reader #Writer #HistoricalRomance
I'm doing it! Today, during Evie's nap, I restarted my @authoraccelerator book coach training course. I first started the course on January 4, 2021 with the goal of reinvigorating my freelance developmental editing business into something more relational, more flexible, and more balanced so that I could create more authentic relationships with my clients and actually accomplish my own writing goals. And then, I finally got pregnant again. And holy moly, the brain fog mixed with the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy after multiple losses. Hoo-boy—my course had to take a back seat. Now that baby girl is 8 months old and fairly consistently giving me solid crib naps, I feel ready to jump back in and pursue this dream. I want to help authors plan, write, and revise their stories. I want to help bring amazing romance novels into the world. And I want to write my own too. I want to do all that while raising a confident, kind, and hopefully bookish daughter. Here's to being a mom AND being a writer/editor/coach. I likely won't make it through this course quickly. But I'm determined to complete it ( maybe even get certified), get my website/blog going again, and make this biz mine. Thanks for joining me on this journey too, friends! #Selfie #BookCoach #FreelanceEditor #DevelopmentalEditor #Reader #Writer #EditorsOfInstagram #Freelance #Learning #Goals #FreelanceMama #BookishMama
I read The Roughest Draft on audio and ebook this week and loved it. (Also, how great that my library holds came available at the same time!) This romance tells the story of a pair of co-authors who split up and hate each other but have one final book to write together. Of course, by the end they are a couple. *swoon* One of my favourite aspects of this book is the structure. The story is told most in the present but with snippets of 4 years ago (the time when the split happened). The best part, this is the structure for the book the authors are writing too. This book is a love letter to writing and subtext and friends to lovers. #RomanceNovel #RecentRead #Ebook #Audiobook #Kobo #ReadOutside #MamaWhoReads #SummerReads #Bookish #Bookstagram #TheRoughestDraft #BookReview
It takes me ages to finish a print book these days. I used to get through one every few days. Audio and ebooks are my go to right now, and that's okay... But it still makes me a little sad because I want to read/finish my huge stack of new paperbacks so badly. I'm about two-thirds through Kamila Knows Best and have started an audio and an ebook too for their convenience. What are you reading this week? #CurrentlyReading #reader #AmReadingRomance #AmReading #Bookish #Bookstagram #Paperback #Novel #RomanceReader
Porch reading while the baby naps. 💕 When you find a favourite author, you buy and read all their books! I adore @farahheronauthor and am already loving this one — her reimagining of Jane Austen's Emma. I loved her debut novel The Chai Factor so much that I took a writing class from her (I'm so grateful for online classes). If you're looking for a fabulous Canadian rom com writer, check out her books. (And no, this isn't sponsored. I just really enjoy her books.) #ReadOutside #CurrentlyReading #AmReadingRomance #RomanceReader #BooksAndChai #KamilaKnowsBest #Emma #JaneAusten #Retelling #RomanceNovel #Bookstagram #BookishCanadian #Toronto #YYC #RomanticComedy
#NationalRescueDogDay means snugging this good boy. Adopting a rescue is a wild ride. You never know what your doggo will be like. Gizmo pup was most likely abused before he came to us. He's got some anxiety and reactivity but is also the sweetest thing once he's comfortable. He's as in love with his little human sister as she is with him. #RescueDog #RescueDogsOfInstagram #AdoptDontShop #BullyMix #ShepherdMix #LabMix
Thank you @harpercollinsca for the chance to read and review WITH THIS KISS. Swipe to see the intriguing premise. What would you do if everytime you kissed someone, you saw how they died? I'm only a few chapters in and already intrigued by the characters and the setting. I'll share my thoughts on @the.storygraph when I'm done. If this sounds like a book you might enjoy, check it out. It's available in bookstores now. #BooksofHCC ##BookReview #Bookish #Reader #CurrentlyReading #AmReading #AmReadingRomance #ReadOutside #PorchReader
