Samenvatting:

This book explains what pregnancy loss involves with an emphasis on the emotional impact miscarriage can have.This is an invaluable resource for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage, as well as healthcare staff that offer miscarriage care.

Pregnancy loss can leave us with many unanswered questions, and knowing where to find answers is not always clear.

This book is for you if, like me, you’ve been affected by any kind of pregnancy loss – currently or in the past. It provides practical advice and self-care strategies to help you cope during or after loss, alongside ideas that will enable you to make sense of what’s happened – including understanding your feelings and choices; outlining what you can expect during and after your loss; ways to navigate physical and mental health care (if appropriate); and thinking about how to remember your baby. It’s for charities, support groups, therapists, and healthcare professionals who want to provide support and care.

We all react – and cope with loss – in different ways, and this book respects diverse needs when it comes to getting information and help. You don’t have to feel like you are going through your loss alone. In this book you’ll find reflection exercises, self-help resources, and stories and suggestions from other people about how they survived, which should leave you feeling more confident and better able to seek additional support if you need it.
