Stillbirth and Neonatal Death

When a Baby Dies: The Experience of Late Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Neonatal Death
Author: Nancy Kohner and Alix Henley

In this book, parents who have lost a baby tell their stories. They speak about what happened, how they felt, how others have helped them and how they helped themselves. Using letters from and interviews with many bereaved parents, Nancy Kohner and Alix Henley have written a book that offers understanding of what it means to lose a baby and the grief that follows.


Losing a Baby 
Author: Sarah Ewing
This book is for those parents coping with the death of a young child. It's written for the parents of babies who die before the age of two. It also covers babies born prematurely who might have lived, but not early miscarriages. This book covers: the first few days; practicalities (arranging the funeral etc); coming to terms with the death; coping as a couple; what to tell your other children; dealing with the outside world; getting counselling and support; traditional remedies and complementary therapies.


Living with Leo
Author: Mario Di Clemente
Leonardo Di Clemente was born on 27th January 2003 and died the following day. Leo's father, Mario, has written movingly of his experience of prospective fatherhood and the distress of bereavement. Twelve letters written over a year, from a father to his son, tell the story of Mario's life with Leo: of the excitement and anticipation, the grief and loss, and perhaps most important of all, the emergence of strength and hope.
