"Say my baby’s name" gently guides readers through the profound journey of loss shared by five men and twenty-seven women. It explores every aspect of this experience, from the initial pregnancy announcement to the unsettling feeling that something may be wrong, culminating in the heart-wrenching loss at various stages of pregnancy and birth. This book serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the life-altering impact of losing a baby. Readers will gain insight into the emotional landscape of bereaved parents, recognizing how such loss deeply affects their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. Each chapter conveys essential messages for families, society, health professionals, employers, and parents. The research aims to amplify the voices of those who have endured this pain through their lived experiences. From obtaining ethical approval to conducting and analyzing 32 interviews, the focus has been on ensuring that the perspectives of bereaved mothers and fathers remain central. The author’s personal experience with loss, combined with insights from psychology and therapeutic work with the bereaved, has shaped this exploration. This work is inspired by a journey intertwined with grief, particularly the stillbirth of the author's brother, Patrick, which profoundly affected their family.
