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.
