Pippa Vosper tragically lost her son Axel in 2017, when she was five months pregnant, and has since written about miscarriage and baby loss online and in a series of pieces for Vogue. Beyond Grief: Navigating the Journey of Pregnancy and Baby Loss is the book she wishes had been available when her son died. It covers every aspect of pregnancy and baby loss at any stage, from the practical to the emotional, with advice from experts and stories from women who have been through it themselves. Beyond Grief offers both an inclusive perspective and a guiding hand to anyone who has experienced any kind of pregnancy loss, as well as those who are trying to support them through it.

Publisher Review

Sensitive and insightful * Sunday Times Style * This book will be a godsend to any woman going through the murky devastation that is called miscarriage but feels like something else entirely: the loss of a baby. * Ariel Levy, author of The Rules Do Not Apply * Baby loss is a subject as deep as the ocean, but often summarised or diminished with one word: miscarriage. Pippa Vosper opens this grief up, to examine it from every angle, with the help of dozens of contributors. A compassionate, nuanced book that does this very complicated grief justice. * Pandora Sykes * Pippa has opened her heart to write about one of the most painful things a mother can ever experience. This book will be the friend to hold your hand while you navigate your own pathway of grief. I'm so glad it's here * Elle Wright * Miscarriage and baby loss is one of the most isolating, horrific and loneliest experiences to go through. This book offers so much comfort with the power of shared stories, open honest discussion and the hope that moving forward after such deep sorrow is possible. I wish this book had been available when our family navigated this devastating time. * Jools Oliver * Not only is Beyond Grief incredibly moving, it's an important and useful tool for anyone whose life has been changed by pregnancy loss. * Edward Enninful OBE * Beyond Grief will not only help anyone experiencing baby loss feel seen, but also provides us with actionable insights to help navigate the darkest of times. * Vanessa Kingori MBE * Deeply moving, realistic, and reassuring, Beyond Grief is the essential conversation opener to infertility and loss. You almost certainly know people who need it, and they in turn will draw much comfort from within its pages * Kat Brown * Beyond Grief is an essential companion for anyone navigating the journey of baby loss. It's practical, compassionate and filled with love - Pippa writes beautifully * Elizabeth Uviebinene * Unflinching, tender and powerfully written; Pippa carefully takes readers by the hand on both a practical and emotionally raw journey dissecting the different aspects of baby loss. It's a truly eye-opening, eye-watering read and one I think anybody will learn from and be greatly moved by. * Yomi Adegoke * Unflinching, tender and powerfully written; Pippa carefully takes readers by the hand on both a practical and emotionally raw journey dissecting the different aspects of baby loss.
