Return to Zero * trigger warning**

jonahsma · May 2014

Hi ladies Lifetime will be showing a new movie called Return to Zero....

I know most of you love Lifetime movies, I know I do, I just wanted to let you gals know (if you don't know already) what the movie is about. This is from the site

RETURN TO ZERO is based on the true story of a successful couple, Maggie (MINNIE DRIVER) and Aaron (PAUL ADELSTEIN) who are preparing for the arrival of their first child. Just weeks before their due date they are devastated to discover that their baby son has died in the womb and will be stillborn.

Maggie and Aaron attempt to go on with their lives but cannot escape their postpartum grief. Their lives and relationship have been forever altered by this loss. And no one seems to understand the hell they are going through. Aaron’s dad, Robert (ALFRED MOLINA), encourages his son to bury himself in work, while Maggie’s Mom, Kathleen (KATHY BAKER), always says the wrong thing.

Maggie and Aaron try to cope in a myriad of ways — through denial, escape, and alcohol — but when Maggie ultimately discovers that Aaron is having an affair with Dana (SARAH JONES), a co-worker, she decides to end the marriage.

Just when Maggie believes she has started a new life, she discovers that she is pregnant by Aaron (from a last ditch ‘save the marriage’ getaway to Vegas.) With the help of Claire (CONNIE NIELSEN), an empathetic doctor who experienced a similar loss years ago, Maggie finally grieves for the loss of her son. Then she and Aaron must reunite to face a turbulent and terrifying pregnancy.

It airs on Lifetime sat May 17 8pm/7central. I think I may watch, maybe.

((HUGS))

Yay! I've been following it for months! So glad it is finally here. Minnie Driver said it's the hardest thing she's ever done and she was just acting as if she was in our shoes. Big hugs to all of you. I know it will be hard, but I am glad that they are making our stories so public!

I know it will be a tearfest when I watch it, but I feel the pull to do so. Solidarity and all that. I know it won't be perfect, but I am glad they are willing to show the magnitude of the grief. Breaking the silence is helpful to healing. And hopefully it can help people who will experience this in their own lives.

I'm so excited for this! I've also been following it for months. I think it's so important in spreading awareness about baby loss. Maybe more people will understand this hell that we all live with.

I heard about this a few months ago and saw the trailer recently and I know I will not be able to watch it, at least not now. Maybe in a few years if it's out on DVD?
