When a little child dies
Here you find an english version of the broschure "When a little child dies" (Når et lite barn dør).
This brochure is written for all parents who suddenly experience the loss of their precious little child. This brochure provides no right or wrong answers as to what you should do, but it can give advice and guidance in an otherwise chaotic and difficult time. It will be an intense experience, with much to organize and with many important decisions to be taken in the upcoming period. At the Landsforeningen uventet barnedød we have experienced that it can be helpful to know what others have gone through, what was important to them, and what can provide support for similar situations. This brochure shares these experiences.
Whether the child dies in the mothers womb, at birth, or during the childs first years, there are many aspects of grief that will be similar. Likewise are all situations totally different. To start with, we describe the facts and experiences tied up with how the child died; as stillborn, during birth or other kind of unexpected child death. The other parts of the brochure will cover topics such as autopsy [obduksjon], saying a final farewell and funerals or cremations, along with grieving and working through bereavement. These topics are relevant for all grieving parents, regardless of how the child died.
