About this listen

You Are Not Alone: A Gentle Companion for Enduring, Grieving, and Healing from Pregnancy and Infant Loss

“We, too, are postpartum after pregnancy and infant loss,” says Eileen Santos Rosete. “And we deserve the same care all who give birth need, with an added sensitivity to our grief and our trauma.”

Pregnancy loss. Infant loss. Womb loss. Such losses are as valid as any other, yet these experiences and the individuals who endure them remain largely unrecognized and unsupported. To Tend and to Hold honors survivors and the depth of what they’ve gone through with a reverence that has, until now, been missing.

Within this carefully crafted resource, Rosete emerges as a warm confidante, helping us articulate our experiences, understand our options, and tend to our unique needs as both postpartum and bereaved, helping you:

Center Your Needs: Listen to what your body is calling for and honor what feels supportive in the moment
Use Your Voice: Articulate your experiences with words that resonate and comfort
Understand Your Journey: Gain insights that put your feelings and experiences into context
Access Healing Tools: Utilize simple grief and trauma-informed practices tailored to meet your needs

Woven with threads of wisdom from a trusted collective of health and healing arts practitioners, comforting stories, nourishing postpartum recipes, and grounding embodiment practices, To Tend and to Hold is a heartfelt, holistic source of solace for all who bear loss.

Critic reviews

“So intimate in nature, so universal in scope. Eileen S. Rosete gives womb loss and grief all the emotional, physical, and collective attention we need and deserve. This book is a profound act of care.” —Angela Garbes, author of Like a Mother and Essential Labor

“The essence of To Tend and to Hold can be likened to a warm, comforting embrace—a blend of therapeutic wisdom, medical insight, and the compassionate understanding of a close friend. As someone who has personally navigated the painful journey of womb loss, I approach Eileen’s words with profound respect and appreciation. It is a resource I fervently wish had been available during my own ordeal and one I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone facing this heartache—or to supportive partners striving to comprehend and aid their loved ones through such trying times.” —Charlotte Cho, cofounder of Soko Glam and founder of Then I Met You

“Pregnancy loss isn’t talked about enough, even though one-quarter of women will experience it. Eileen is holding space for so many women navigating the heartbreaking realities of family planning in the twenty-first century. Her book, To Tend and to Hold, has put words to many of my own feelings during my bumpy road to motherhood.” —Hannah Bronfman, activist, angel investor, wellness advocate, and author of Do What Feels Good
