A Final Call: Be Part of When There Are No Words

Grief has a way of leaving us speechless. When a baby is lost—whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, or in those fragile newborn days, there are no perfect words that can soothe the ache. Friends and family want to comfort us, but often stumble, unsure of what to say. Parents want to share their child’s story, but society sometimes falls silent around them.

That silence is exactly why When There Are No Words was created. This book is about breaking through the quiet, shining a light on stories of love, loss, and the unique journey that follows when a baby dies. It’s a book written not just for those grieving today, but for every family, friend, and supporter who may one day be standing beside someone in pain, unsure of how to help.

Why Your Story Matters

Every story of loss carries its own truth. No two experiences are ever the same, yet they share threads of love, heartbreak, resilience, and hope. By contributing your voice, you are doing something profoundly powerful: you are turning your private pain into a public gift of comfort and understanding.

Imagine a mum, newly navigating the raw early days of loss, opening this book and seeing words that mirror her own feelings. Imagine a dad, a grandparent, or even a best friend, finally finding language for emotions they couldn’t explain. That is the impact your story can have.

This isn’t just about your journey, it’s about creating a collective resource that will stand as a guide, a comfort, and a companion for years to come.

A Community of Co-Authors

Already, families from across Australia (and beyond) have joined this project. Each one brings something different, personal experiences, hard-earned wisdom, and messages of love for the families who will follow. Together, these voices weave a tapestry of empathy, strength, and remembrance.

And the beautiful truth? There’s still space for yours.

Cut-Off Date: September 28th, 2025

We are now in the final stages of gathering stories. Expressions of interest to co-author close on September 28th, 2025. After this date, submissions will no longer be accepted as the book will move into editing, design, and preparation for publishing.

If you have been sitting with the thought that your story could help someone else, this is the moment to act. You don’t need to be a polished writer, you simply need the courage to share from your heart. Support will be available to guide you through the process.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

When the world goes quiet around grief, books like When There Are No Words step in to hold space. They remind families that they are not alone, that their babies are remembered, and that their stories matter.

If you feel called to be part of this project, we would be honoured to walk alongside you.
