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.

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 and 1:1 conversations, depending on where you are in loss life and what you need right now.
