A Gift of Time: Continuing your pregnancy with a terminal prenatal diagnosis

Receiving a terminal prenatal diagnosis means that your baby likely will die before or shortly after birth. This is devastating, shattering news. Because of recent advances in medical technology and prenatal testing, this kind of pregnancy crisis is relatively new. There is a great need for a sensitive, informative book that can support parents who decide to continue their pregnancy, and assist them through their baby's life and death. A Gift of Time will help fill that void.

A Gift of Time will document the wide variety of situations and emotions parents face, as well as provide practical suggestions for coping, decision-making, and meaningfully planning the time before the baby’s death. The book will also be filled with direct quotes from parents, who so eloquently describe their experiences, feelings, thoughts, and insights. By reading these stories, other parents can find much comfort in knowing that they are not alone.

If you already have traveled this path, we invite you to share your story and help light the path of parents who will come after you. We hope that you will find offering your experiences to other parents to be another way of honoring your baby.

To make your contribution to this project in writing, please download our questionnaire here. If you are in the Denver or Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan areas and would be willing to share your story with one of us in person, please contact us.
