I know what it’s like to have the life you planned disappear—and to realize you can’t wait for everything to be okay before you start living again. My work is rooted in grief, but my message has become much bigger than grief: we may not get to choose everything that happens to us, but we can choose how we live through it. I talk honestly about loss, identity, motherhood, purpose, reinvention, joy, and giving ourselves permission to stop “shoulding” our way through life. Because sometimes the life we wanted isn’t the life we get. That doesn’t mean we stop living. It means we get to decide what we need now—and build a life big enough to hold all of it.

Stillbirth Survival: My No BS Guide to Getting Through the First Year by Katherine Lazar is an unfiltered, deeply honest companion for navigating life after the unimaginable. When loss shatters everything you expected about motherhood, your body, your world, and your future, the first year can feel like pure survival—a disorienting mix of physical recovery, emotional exhaustion, profound grief, and relentless reminders of what should have been.
Drawing from her own experience, Lazar walks with you through the first year with honesty and compassion, offering light in the darkest moments while covering the realities most people don’t talk about—from postpartum healing and medical appointments to due dates, holidays, and the milestones that hit hard. She speaks to the triggers that seem to be everywhere, the weight of carrying grief into everyday life, and the complicated questions around relationships, finding answers, and deciding if or when to try again.
Practical, validating, and grounded in real experience, this is not a book about “moving on.” It is about surviving what feels unsurvivable, learning how to carry your baby with you, and finding a way to live in a world that has been permanently changed. For anyone navigating stillbirth, this guide offers what so many parents need in those early days: honesty, support, and the reassurance that you are not alone.

I’m Katherine — a loss mom, advocate, certified grief coach/educator, creator of LossLink, and the voice behind At a Total Loss.
Grief after stillbirth doesn’t follow a straight line.
Support shouldn’t either and navigating life after your baby is full of emotional triggers and learning to carry your grief with you.
I offer both guided group support, large group connection events and 1:1 personalized conversations, depending on where you are in loss life and what you need right now.

Live conversations with Katherine Lazar
These are real, unfiltered conversations with the author of Stillbirth Survival: The No BS Guide to Getting Through the First Year—created for loss moms, loss dads, medical professionals, loss support people, or anyone who wants more information and need a place to actually talk about it.
Each session is a space to bring whatever is coming up for you right now.
The triggers. The anger. The questions you don’t say out loud. The moments that catch you off guard.
These sessions will discuss parts of the book, as well as go wherever the conversation needs to go.
Katherine will guide the discussion, offer insight from her own experience, and open the floor for honest conversation, connection, and Q&A.
You don’t need to prepare anything.
You don’t need to be in a certain place in your grief.
You don’t even need to talk.
You just have to show up.
Because sometimes the most powerful thing after loss…is being in a room where you don’t have to explain it.
