Silent cries: The overlooked pain and grim reality of stillbirths

When Grace Mwashighadi stepped into a maternity ward, she eagerly awaited the cry of her baby.

Instead, she was met with silence, an absence filled with the unknown. She had a stillbirth.

“The longest walk I have ever taken was leaving a hospital three times without a baby,” says Mwashighadi, a global health specialist and co-chair of the Lancet Stillbirth Advisory Committee.
