As an infertility Advocate and someone who has experienced a still birth, not many people know what to say or do nor did I know how to react. All I knew was that this was reality, it was a bump in the road to Motherhood as I felt isolated, guilt and pain.
Still Birth is a devastating life experience that hurts. After our loss we needed to reflect, acknowledge and move forward. It is easier said than done, because you never can erase an experience like this. It is something that needs to be talked about starting with breaking the silence in local communities and in Hollywood. We must not hide in the dark. Others have experienced this type of loss and we need to share our stories to allow others to heal.
The movie called Return To Zero (http://returntozerothemovie.com)is based on a true story about a couple who experienced a stillbirth. The movie features Minnie Driver, Paul Adelstein, Alfred Molina, Connie Nielson, Kathy Baker, Andrea Anders and Sarah Jones. Return to Zero to me represents, a way to honor those who have lost children through still birth ~ Honor the lost Angels through this movie.
I saw a video from the Director, Sean Hannish and he spoke on how this movie is based how he and his wife lost a child. After reading more on the movie and seeing more videos I knew I had to be part of this project. Sharing stories helps know they are not alone no matter how painful the experience is.
Please help get this movie get into theaters. Hollywood is all about Reality Shows, share this piece of reality with them - Stillbirths occur one in 160 pregnancies in the US alone. Hollywood this is the "Real Reality".
