Product Description
Product Description
Every year in the UK over 10,000 babies die before birth or shortly afterwards. For the parents, the grief is hard to bear. In this book, parents who have lost a baby tell their stories. They speak about what happened, how they felt, how they have been helped by others and how they helped themselves.
Using letters from and interviews with many bereaved parents, Nancy Kohner and Alix Henley have written a book which offers understanding of what it means to lose a baby and the grief that follows. When a Baby Dies also contains valuable information about why a baby dies, hospital practices, the process of grieving, sources of support, and the care parents need in future pregnancies.

Format:Paperback
I read the previous version of this book the week after my baby died and it really helped to know there were other parents out there who had been through what I was experiencing - and more importantly that they had survived. Hearing the accounts of their baby's death in their own words and their experiences of grief made me feel much less isolated.
This new version is even better as it has up to date medical information about the possible causes of baby death (at all different stages of pregnancy and shortly after birth). This can be particularly important when thinking of a next pregnancy if you are lucky enough to be able to do this.
It helped me to work through "Why" my daughter died and to decide "When" and "If" I was brave enough to try again.
Please read it!

As a first time mum who had a son stillborn earlier this year this book has been a life saver for me and my husband. I've read it over and over and there always seems to be something new and relevant to how I'm feeling on that day. Losing a child is possibly the worst thing to happen to anybody and even though people's sympathies are with you it is only by reading about other people's experiences that you don't feel so alone. It is thoughtful and not at all prescriptive. Everybody's grief is different and this book perfectly illustrates that. It has a good reference section on causes of stillbirth and gave me more information than my consultant! It is well balanced between practical issues like the funeral, stages of grieving and finally about trying for another baby so there is something for every stage that you will go through. I highly recommend it!

Should you or anyone you know be in the misfortunate sitation of having a baby die then this book is for you.
It not only covers how many people feel after their baby has died it also contains a lot of information which may be relevant. I like to say it is a very 'British' book, precise and too the point and not waffley overly sentimental as some other 'foreign' books can be.
My son was sadly stillborn in October 2002 and I have referred to this book many times in the last year and sadly have had reason to pass it on to others. It is my intention to raise money for our local hospital in order to purchase a number of copies of this book so that when a baby dies they will be able to give a copy of this book to the family as they leave the hospital.
