5.0 out of 5 stars The book really helped me through my grief when my baby died, 27 Oct 2001
By A Customer
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really helped me, 10 Oct 2001
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sorry I needed it but glad I found it..., 19 Nov 2003
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.
