Two new papers on perinatal loss published in Bereavement

Two new papers dealing with perinatal loss have been published in the online free-access journal Bereavement: Journal of grief and responses to death. An exploratory comparative study from Hollins Martin et al compares perinatal bereavement care provision in the US and the UK. The authors argue that perinatal bereavement care should include screening for Postnatal Depression (PND) and Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder (PTSD), and support should be equally available to all women who experience perinatal bereavement, irrespective of type of loss.

A personal viewpoint article from Gutierez shares the author and his wife’s journey through four miscarriages in The Philippines. The couple faced a huge emotional and financial burden but also received much support and, with the birth of their fifth child, found hope and resilience.
