Losing a Baby
by Sarah Ewing
Nothing prepares you for the loss of a child. Pregnancy is meant to be a happy time – you are looking forward to starting or growing your family. But then suddenly all those hopes are taken away and you are left desolate. Suddenly you are mourning the loss of your child, that bright future and all the rites of passage that you will no longer experience.
Losing a baby entails a very special kind of grief that may not be understood by everyone. This book offers comfort and advice for those who are mourning the loss of a much-wanted child whether through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death or cot death.
This book suggests ways parents can celebrate precious memories of their babies, how to cope as a couple and what to tell other children. It also explores the issues parents face when planning a subsequent pregnancy, and how to cope with the inevitable mixed emotions that are involved.
Sarah Ewing is the former editor of a national parenting magazine. Since October 2001, she has worked as a freelance health, travel and features journalist writing for various publications including The Guardian, The Times, Red, Top Santé and Natural Health.
