The loss of a baby, however it occurs, can be heartbreaking and painful
and leave parents in need of support as they grieve. While awareness
about baby loss is increasing, the suffering and sadness, isolation and
loneliness parents feel is often invisible and it can be hard for them
to reach out, and for those around them to know how best to support
them. Why Baby Loss Matters explores what happens when families
experience baby loss or the end of a pregnancy, drawing on the
first-hand experiences of parents who have navigated life and the fourth
trimester without their baby, and the vital work of charities and
services which offer support. By examining different approaches to
coping with the loss of a baby and keeping memories alive, the book
offers insight into the ways that families have found the support and
peace that they need to continue living after saying goodbye.
