Summary: a valuable resource
Comment: This book is designed for families whose baby has just died, but we read it initially after our daughter was diagnosed with a terminal birth defect. I read it again before she was born (four months later) and again a week later after her death. Periodically I re-read it to remind myself that although the outside world pretends that nothing happened, that we have every right to grieve for our baby.
When Hello Means Goodbye effectively gives parents permission to fully parent their dead baby as much as is possible in the brief time given them. Parents are encouraged to name, hold, photograph, bathe and dress their baby, as well as sing, cuddle, and share their baby--or anything else they may feel they want to do. Many times people feel it is "wrong" to do these things, but the authors gently and firmly show through other parents' stories, poems and photos that it is the most natural thing in the world. They talk you through the beginnings of grief and give an overview of what to expect as you adjust to life without your little one.
Although brief, this book really helps. Highly recommended for anyone who has lost a baby or who deals with perinatal loss (nurses, doctors, social workers, etc.)

Summary: Great book to read soon after loss.
Comment: I received the book at the hospital with other mementos of my still born son. It took me a couple of days before I was able to read it. It was a great first book to read because it was all I could handle at the time. It included some beautiful poems and discusses how you may be feeling. It doesn't go in depth on alot of issues so if you are looking in depth discussions this is not the book for you.

Summary: A comfort when nothing else could...
Comment: Since our daughter was stillborn 7 weeks ago I have read just about every book I could find on perinatal loss. This one was sent to me by the nurse reviewing my hospital stay for my insurance company and it was the best. I found it very comforting and insightful and I've read it several times. It was short and easy to focus on in spite of the shock I was experiencing. I liked it because it dealt specifically with late pregnancy losses and the associated shock, grief, and heartbreak. It is a good gift for someone who is experiencing this catastrophe.
