Help, Comfort, And Hope After Losing Your Baby In Pregnancy Or The First Year

Description

For parents and caregivers alike, a wise and tender guide to coping with the loss of a baby. Through her own experience with miscarriage as well as through the voices of other parents who have suffered the devastation of their baby's death, psychologist Hannah Lothrop guides parents through the experience of bereavement, from shock and disbelief to renewal and growth. This warm, insightful book also provides specific information for caregivers: hospital staff, clergy, relatives, or counselors. Thoughtful questions throughout help readers assess their emotions and identify their needs, and an extensive list of resources provides additional sources of support.

The late psychologist Hannah Lothrop lost a baby during pregnancy in 1984. She subsequently became a mother of two, a childbirth educator, grief counsellor, and lecturer.
