Every year miscarriage affects up to 150,000 Australians and the people that love them. So why are we so damned bad at dealing with it? A busy doctor dismissing a patient's physical or mental pain, an emergency department falling far short of adequate care or a friend or family member who has no idea what to say so they say the worst thing of all. Sorrow and loss are compounded each step of the way. In Hard to Bear, journalist Isabelle Oderberg investigates the world's most common pregnancy complication, from the origins of the silence that engulfs it, to the role played by medical misogyny in treatment, and why Reproductive Justice must be at the heart of every solution. Combining in-depth investigative skills with her own lived experience and that of hundreds of others, Oderberg charts a course to improve the system and change the lives of anyone directly or indirectly touched by early pregnancy loss, with practical and generous advice and suggestions along the way. PRAISE FOR HARD TO BEAR 'Told with love, sass and journalistic rigour, this courageous and compelling book will be a lifeline for so many families whose grief and loss has for too long been unspeakable.' - Jess Hill, author of See What You Made Me Do 'In Hard to Bear Isabelle Oderberg manages to weave expert research into a personal narrative of grief, hope, and love ... It is also about joy and grace. The joy of family, and friends, and all the tiny moments that call us away from grief.' - Nyadol Nyuon, lawyer and human rights activist 'This incredible book should be another nail in the coffin to medical misogyny worldwide.' - Gabrielle Jackson, associate editor, Guardian Australia and author of Pain and Prejudice: A Call to Arms for Women and Their Bodies 'This book runs loudly and proudly towards a topic we too easily ignore.' - Gina Rushton, author of The Most Important Job in the World 'Funny, wise and forensically researched. Hard to Bear is brilliant.' - Samantha Maiden 'Fierce, frank and deeply compassionate, Hard to Bear is a long overdue reckoning with early pregnancy loss. This book will be a salve to thousands and propel a much-needed cultural conversation.' - Yves Rees, author of All About Yves
