This book is primarily aimed at midwives, neonatal nurses and health visitors. It should also be relevant to gynaecology nurses who frequently deal with miscarriages and abortions. A comprehensive, research-based yet practical "direct" book which covers all types of bereavement concerning families - ie infertility; T.O.P; miscarriage; premature and full-term stillbirths; pre-term and neonatal death; SIDS ("cot death"); adoption; and death in small children. As a counselling book, it draws on the provocation and development of the reader's own experience of loss to nurture empathy, and offers practical, sensitive guidelines for professional conduct.
