Let me say upfront that I was a contributor to this, at times, heartbreaking look at pregnancy loss. But stories of loss, such as my own and those of the many other brave contributors, are stories we have to tell. By telling them we hope that other parents who experience similar tragedies will also ‘survive’. Journalist Zoë Taylor wrote Pregnancy Loss: Surviving Miscarriage and Stillbirth after suffering a number of miscarriages herself. Feeling unable to talk about her losses, Zoë discovered that there were many other women living with similar grief and silence. She saw the need for an honest book about the topic.

Part resource and part personal stories, this is an accessible and moving book. Capturing the range of emotions felt by parents who have lost babies - from profound sadness and despair through to recovery and hope - it also contains comprehensive research into factors behind pregnancy loss. In Australia, stillbirths outnumber SIDS deaths by ten to one, and most of us will be touched, directly or indirectly, by pregnancy loss. So, while a happy ending is the intrinsic goal of pregnancy, the fact that such an ending is never guaranteed means that a frank and informative resource such as this is vital.
