Loss

The impact of the death of the baby on the bereaved parents and their family is profound and often long reaching. Whilst many families survive this loss strengthened and empowered this does depend on the level of support they received both at the time of the loss, in the subsequent pregnancy and beyond.

I have published two books about the impact of loss on children and when the woman is pregnant again:
  • Warland J, (2009). Our baby died. 2nd ed Mediacom: Adelaide
  •  Warland J, Warland M, (1996). Pregnancy after Loss. Author. Adelaide
​I have published a book with my Colleague Joann O’Leary titled
  • Meeting the Needs of Parents Pregnant and Parenting After Perinatal Loss 
The book develops a framework, which integrates continuing bonds and attachment theories, to support prenatal parenting at each stage of pregnancy. Giving insight into how a parent’s world view of a pregnancy may have changed following a loss, readers are provided with tools to assist parents on their journey. The book discusses each stage of a pregnancy, as well as labor and the postpartum period, before examining subjects such as multi-fetal pregnancies, reluctant terminations, use of support groups, and the experiences of fathers and other children in the family. The chapters include up-to-date research findings, vignettes from parents reflecting on their own experiences and recommendations for practice.
Written for researchers, students and professionals from a range of health, social welfare and early years education backgrounds, this text outlines what we know about supporting bereaved families encountering the challenges of a subsequent pregnancy.

I also led a group of 20 international scholars to produce a unified position statement on seeing and holding a stillborn baby. A copy of this document can be found at the ISPID website  ​
