Combining academic and scientific research with her personal experience interacting with people, Mander (midwifery, U. of Edinburgh, Scotland) offers advice to other midwives caring for a mother experiencing any form of loss in childbearing. Her concern is to prevent unnecessary suffering not only by the mother who fails to receive appropriate care, but also by the midwife who knows that what she provided was not enough. Her topics include researching childbearing loss, caring for the grieving mother, family grief, the death of a mother, staff grieving and crying, and future childbearing. Her personal and informal style of writing has survived the sneering of critics about being chatty. The first edition was published by Blackwell Scientific in 1994.

This new edition of a groundbreaking work reflects important developments in the general understanding of, and research into, loss and death. Providing a wealth of information for both experienced and inexperienced midwives, the book covers topics including:
- perinatal and neonatal loss
- miscarriage and termination for foetal abnormality
- death of a mother in third world and first world settings
- difficulties encountered during future childbearing.
Combining an authoritative research-based orientation with a critical yet human approach to this sensitive topic, the book aids midwives in providing effective care and support to those who experience loss. The author draws on relevant and largely research-based literature from a wide range of related disciplines to inform this area, which is only now receiving the attention it has long deserved.
