I thought I had taken it in stride: she and her husband already had one child, and I had no doubt they would have more children. One day at work I went to the Coke machine and was suddenly sobbing with grief. I think it is important to realize that grief is natural, even for a child or grandchild lost early in a pregnancy.

We need to be strong yet tender at the same time in such situations. Very sensitively written, it not only prepares you for such an eventuality but also makes you act more responsibly when you see anything like this happen to anyone. It has definitely created an impression in my mind. Thanks again. Thanks for this post, it is an important issue and since I have never come across anything like this in my life it was an eyeopener.

This means they will be promoting it at all their events. The novel, which is based on my own experience, is available from Amazon, any good bookshop, or from my own website. I also blog regularly (though not frequently) on bereavement. Just click the tag for bereavement. My heart goes out to all who have suffered loss and all proceeds from my book go to charities supporting children - some of whom have lost their parents. There are links on <a href="http://www.melmenzies.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">my site</a>. Hi Shayne,
