Our Babies Have Died : Stories of Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Neonatal Death

No one can be prepared for the immensity of grief that follows the death of a baby.

OUR BABIES HAVE DIED contains the stories of parents who have unselfishly shared them so that others may benefit. It has been the experience of SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Support Inc) that parents of babies who have died wish to talk about their experiences, listen to those of others and confirm that the experiences they endure after the death of their child are often common amongst other bereaved parents. These stories are, at times heartbreaking, brave and sensitive, whilst showing an insight into the strength of the human condition.

As one father writes:

'It has been fifty-nine days since we had our hello and our sad goodbye. My lovely wife, whom I adore and for whom I now have an even stronger sense of admiration due to her strength and courage, has been through hell and has not come back yet, but 'they' do say time heals.'
