The Weight of Dread
This week’s Room Eleven newsletter explores the lingering impact of baby loss and how it shapes our emotional responses to film and storytelling — even in fictional settings like Fantastic Four and Squid Game. Rob shares updates from the Scooting for Hope charity event and reflects on powerful moments from the Waves of Change conference and the Bereaved Parents Workshop, where bereaved parents, clinicians, and researchers united to discuss stillbirth rates, national terminology, and life-saving initiatives. Plus, reviews of Fantastic Four: First Family and Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend highlight themes of family, survival, and human resilience.
