From survivor to founder
Everything was going well — the kind of ordinary you take for granted, until it is gone in an instant. When my ectopic rupture happened, there was no warning, no time to prepare. One moment I was living my life. The next, I was in emergency surgery, and the future I had imagined was being rewritten without my permission.
The weeks after were a different kind of hard. My body was healing, but the grief — for the pregnancy, for the version of myself who had walked into that hospital — had no name yet. I was thousands of miles from my parents, from my family, from the people who would have simply sat beside me. I searched for a community that understood this — not just pregnancy loss, but the violence of a rupture, the fear, the recovery, the particular ache of navigating it far from your people. I could not find one. So I built it.
Rise After Rupture is for every woman who survived something terrifying and then had to figure out, quietly and often alone, how to come back to herself. You are not alone anymore.
