How to Cope with Pregnancy Loss is a compassionate, clinically informed guide to the many ways pregnancies can end too soon, and to living with what follows. Drawing on twenty years’ experience as a psychotherapist specialising in reproductive loss, it uses a clear question-and-answer format and vivid clinical vignettes to think through common concerns, navigate complex feelings, and understand the impact on relationships and everyday life.Built on clinical principles and on lived experiences of parents who have gone through pregnancy loss, the book highlights the emotional and psychological impact of loss, including complex grief and mental health consequences, and gives advice on how to find support and navigate the emotional aftermath. Throughout, the author emphasises that all responses to loss are valid, that language matters profoundly, and that remembrance, rather than silence, is both appropriate and healing.This book is for anyone whose life has been affected – emotionally, physically or relationally – by pregnancy loss, and for those who wish to understand and support them, including partners, family and friends, colleagues, employers, and professionals working in healthcare.
