I do think if society was more open and there were more personal stories out there it would make parents who’ve experienced this kind of loss at the very least feel less alone. That’s why I am out there talking about it whenever I can. It is possible to get to the point where you can be as matter-of-fact as your neighbor but consider she’s had half a century to process the loss too.

That's why I try to be as out as I can stand about my tubal pregnancy - awareness of what it likely was prevented me from having to be rushed to the hospital but instead being able to choose where I wanted to go and prepare to be there for a few days, and being in a country (Germany) where there was no question that the pregnancy needed to be ended and the only question was which method I preferred after being given information about all my options made it a lot easier to deal with long term.
