A Silent Love: Personal Stories of Coming to Terms with Miscarriage Book

For too long now, people who've suffered miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death have been made to feel they shouldn't talk about it. As a result, their grief has often been compounded by guilt, shame, and sometimes anger. This collection of real-life stories gives voice to that grief, and considers the medical, social and personal issues involved. Following a miscarriage, the father is often overlooked. Yet as the stories from men in this book show, they have as much to deal with emotionally, if not physically, as women. A Silent Love explores the father's experience as well as the mother's. It also includes stories from grandparents, and an inspiring account of recent progress in medical research. A Slient Love not only offers support and hope for those who have lost a child, it is an invaluable guide for friends and family. With great sensitivity, Adrienne Ryan, who has herself suffered miscarriages, explains why this is a grief different to any other.Read More
