When Hello Means Goodbye: A guide for parents whose child dies before birth, at birth, or shortly after birth
This sensitive booklet is a help to families during the early days of their grief. It helps answer questions and prepare parents for the days ahead.

Among topics covered are: collecting keepsakes; ways to celebrate the birth and death of a baby; reasons for seeing, holding and naming a dead baby; emotions common to bereaved parents; information about autopsies; where to find help; and the unique situations of fathers, siblings, and grandparents.
