Author Description

Happy ending…I spent my twenties laughing at that phrase, whilst simultaneously doing everything I could to not get pregnant. Then, when two out of four of my planned pregnancies didn’t end happily…well, let’s just take a sec to congratulate irony on being the smart-ass it is. So, if with a heavy heart, you’ve just smiled at that – then I know you know. And you know you’re ready for this. “What Now?” is the unapologetically raw and refreshingly amusing story of my family’s fight and twelve other heroic parents’ fight through loss, grief, mental health and life after the loss of a child. Intended to comfort rather than instruct, it’s the book I needed to read when we lost our babies, and the book you might need to read to regain the life of love, hope and happy ever laughter after losing yours.Raising money for Bereavement Charity, Edward’s Trust, this book is for anyone struggling to live their life after being touched by miscarriage, still birth and late loss; for mums, dads, grandparents, siblings, and friends, it is an uplifting and honest account, that answers all the questions you may have about life after loss. The book’s uniqueness is the inclusion of other family members and the discussion points you can have to maintain strong communication bonds after a traumatic loss. Reader Feedback “The strength of this book and the advice given is so important to other parents experiencing similar loss and bereavement. Clara gives an honest insight to the difficult reality and how to reduce isolation when grieving for the loss of a precious baby. The human body isn’t designed to bury their own child, yet we can walk on similar paths with others experiencing similar feelings of heartbreak and devastation, and this does help us to live with our grief, as opposed to our grief taking over our lives. The heartbreak will always be there but we rebuild our lives around it to provide optimism for those days ahead. Most definitely a support manual to give hope for the future.”“
