Dear colleagues: The issue of grief and losing a child has come up several times here on Lactnet in the context of breastfeeding. I stumbled across an article today: http://www.sydneyschild.com.au/articles/parenting/article_whenachilddies .htm. Though this mother's died at the age of two years and one day, I find the article holds truths for the loss of any age child, including many women's experience of prenatal loss. Anyone working with bereaved mothers would benefit from reading this article.
