I have in my mind that this week in October is baby loss awareness week. One of my special areas of interest is Maternal Mental Health and that definitely includes miscarriage, still birth, sudden infant death, birth complications, the after effects of termination; and anything else which comes under this umbrella.
Baby loss can be complicated, painful and there is a definate lack of understanding of the impact it has, particularly concerning early miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
It can be extremely challenging to make sense of a life cut short, before it has even had time to really begin. How do you grieve for someone who you never got to know properly, when the feelings you feel may be equally as intense? How can you deal with people’s unhelpful comments, when they just don’t know what to say? This can impact whole families…mothers, fathers, grandparents and siblings…
Do you need somewhere confidential, where you can safely share your feelings of grief? For grief counselling of all types, in Hampshire and Wiltshire, please feel free to get in touch
