How to support someone grieving the death of a newborn

When Anna Brasnett read about Meghan Markle’s miscarriage, she wrote to us to share her own experience of dealing with the loss of her baby Julian and her father Richard.

More specifically, 29-year-old Anna from Brisbane wanted to share what others have done that has helped her in her grief. And what others didn’t do that she wished they had.

My son passed away at two weeks old earlier this year from complications from his birth.

My father lost his battle with cancer only two weeks later.

It was and continues to be a time of immeasurable pain and grief.

I wish I could hand everyone a handbook about how to deal with me.
