'A much needed book on this difficult and often unspoken loss, that
of early pregnancy ... both illuminating and consoling.' Julia
Samuel, author of Grief Works It estimated that one in four
pregnancies end in miscarriage and yet it persists as taboo. In The
Brink of Being, a groundbreaking and essential book,
psychotherapist Julia Bueno encourages us to talk about, think
more, and reflect upon this often misunderstood, and little
discussed event. Drawing on her personal experience of miscarriage,
stories from her consulting room, and interviews with medical
professionals and researchers, Bueno provides history, context and
consolation for anyone who has been through pregnancy loss, or
wants to know how to help someone who has. Bueno also investigates
miscarriage in terms of how we respond to women's bodies and
reproductive health, our attitudes to birth and death, and how we
can - and should - encourage more curiosity and candid
conversations, in order to better support the many affected by this
loss. 'Intelligent, sensitive, and utterly candid ... It's the sort
of book that women have long been searching for, and it feels like
real progress. I'm so thankful she wrote it' Meaghan O'Connell,
author of And Now We Have Everything
