"It is often said that losing a child is one of the most devastating events that humans can go through, and yet, losing your child when they are a baby - particularly before they are even born - remains a taboo topic, often misunderstood. In this very gentle guide, Nicola Gaskin, who has had one neonatal death, two miscarriages and a `rainbow' baby, is set to change this, opening up the conversation around baby loss with her raw, honest and deeply empathetic insights. From coping with the initial shock, dealing with jealousy and anger, surviving birthdays and Mother's Day, trying for another baby, through to living with everlasting grief - and the fresh round of grief that comes if/when a new baby arrives - this book will help you to navigate every emotional aspect of baby loss. Beautifully illustrated and powerfully written, read this book to know you are not alone and that all your feelings are absolutely valid."--Publisher's description.
