Welcome to the Still Life Project

The Still Life Project is an ongoing work to compile a written resource book that opens up the discussion and advances the understanding of stillbirth, infant death and pregnancy loss – as told by those who have lived experience.

Focusing on first hand accounts; these are then interposed with discussion chapters relevant to this still taboo topic, with the final product to be modern and informative.

As this project is evolving there are still ways you can contribute.

For further information on this project and/or to see how you can add your voice by contributing your experience, please follow the contact links on the page or message Till at till.heike-woods@westnet.com.au
