Krissi Danielsson is a freelance writer and author of After Miscarriage, published by Harvard Common Press in February 2008.

Krissi lost her first, second, and third pregnancies in the first trimester in 2001-2002. She was disappointed in the available support resources, particularly for recurrent miscarriages, so she began to research and ultimately built her popular website, the Recurrent Miscarriage Information Center. She also served for two years as the miscarriage guide for BellaOnline.com.

Krissi has a bachelor of science in psychology from Excelsior College. She will soon begin graduate studies in health promotion and she plans to become a health educator.

I used to think that miscarriages were one of those things that only happened to other people and that women who had pregnancy loss must have done something to cause it themselves. The truth has changed me forever and taught me to never take anything for granted in life. I think that miscarriages are among the most difficult challenges that a couple can face, but that like everything else in life, adversity makes you stronger. If you have had a recent loss, you are probably overwhelmed right now and you may fear that life will never be good again, but you're stronger than you think you are. You will get through this. It isn't always going to be this hard.
