Miscarriage story book

Author Laura Lawrence has written a book to help explain her miscarriage, to her young son.  Laura sadly discovered that her baby’s heartbeat had stopped beating at 9 weeks, when she went for a scan at 15 weeks. Her elder son, Dylan who is 2, struggled to understand what had happened, and when Laura tried to find some appropriate books to help him, she couldn’t find anything. So, she decided to write one herself.

“This little story is to help my little boy and any others that are going through the same thing come to terms with their loss. My son has been asking when ‘Goo’ will be coming back and finding it hard to understand what’s happened, so having it in story form will help him”

Laura’s husband decided to also get involved, and draw the pictures for the book.

“He hadn’t read the story before as he wanted to block out what happened so he could stay strong for me and Dylan. When he read it he cried and said he wanted to do the pictures. I’m really pleased to have him do them as it makes it a real family thing”
