Description

Winner of the British Medical Association Popular Medicine Book AwardShortlisted for the British Psychological Society Book Award 2021 'Illuminating and consoling' JULIA SAMUEL, author of GRIEF WORKS Though approximately one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage, pregnancy loss remains a rarely talked about, under-researched, and largely misunderstood area of women's health. This award-winning book aims to help break that silence. With empathy, warmth and honesty, psychotherapist Julia Bueno blends women's stories (including her own) with research and analysis, exploring the effect of pregnancy loss on women and highlighting the ways in which our society fails to effectively respond to it. The result is a galvanising, urgent and moving exploration of a too-often-hidden human experience, and a crucial resource for anyone struggling with - or seeking to better understand - miscarriage. 'It's the sort of book that women have long been searching for' MEAGHAN O'CONNELL, author of And Now We Have Everything 'Profound insight, rare courage' ZOE WILLIAMS 'Opening the door to more candid conversations' OBSERVER 'Intuitive and compassionate' SATHNAM SANGHERA
