Surviving Pregnancy Loss:
A Complete Sourcebook
For Women and Their Families
Rochelle Friedman, Bonnie Gradstein
Synopsis
|
This updated book is for the one million women who annually
suffer a pregnancy loss - whether by a miscarriage, stillbirth, or ectopic pregnancy -
and their husbands, relatives, friends, and physicians. Surviving Pregnancy Loss
includes: first-person accounts of women who have experienced pregnancy loss; a
discussion by health care professionals of the physical and emotional consequences
of pregnancy loss; an exploration of options for the future - trying again, choosing
childlessness, or considering adopting (with all the latest information on agency,
international, and private adoptions); sensitive advice on the partner's experience,
the reactions of family and friends, dealing with multiple losses, and explaining loss
to children; and more. Anyone who has suffered a pregnancy loss is searching for answers,
searching for a friend. This book provides both.
