Ectopic Pregnancy, Stillbirth, and Infant Death.
by Susan Borg and Judith Lasker. Rev. ed.,

From the book jacket:
Since 1981, When Pregnancy
Fails has brought comfort and reassurance to
grieving families. When first published the book was
widely hailed as a pathbreaking guide for parents
who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or
infant death. This updated and revised edition has a
new chapter on ectopic pregnancy and a report on the
latest research on how failed pregnancy affects
parents. A compassionate sourcebook, it offers the
most up-to-date information on pregnancy loss--its
possible causes, how to cope, and where to turn for
support. You'll find sound, sensitive advice on a
host of important topics, including:
-- Understanding--and working
through--feelings of guilt, anger, anguish, and
grief
-- Finding solace in your family
and sharing your sorrow with your spouse,
partner, parents, or friends
-- Helping children cope with
the loss
-- The causes of pregnancy loss:
is progress killing our babies?
-- What to consider when
thinking about another pregnancy
-- Plus a comprehensive list of
medical, religious, and legal organizations that
can provide you with the support and answers you
need
