Intended for nurses, doctors, midwives, social workers, chaplains, and hospital support staff, this guide gives caring and practical advice for helping families grieve properly after losing a child at birth.

Encouraging continual grief support, these specific companioning strategies can help ease the pain of this most sensitive situation.
