The proposed volume is distinctive in that it offers different and even competing perspectives on loss, grief and bereavement, which is essential given the complexities of the tragic human experience of perinatal, neonatal, and pediatric death. The Editors have selected an impressive array of contributors who have provided new theoretical approaches and explored extant concepts in new ways. The book is foundational for both novice scholars in the field of perinatal and pediatric grief and bereavement and for clinicians who seek a trusted resource in their care of bereaved women and families. Combining all of the theories into one provides easy access for the emerging canon on perinatal and pediatric loss.
