Diary of a
Bereaved
Mother

Goodbye my baby
AnnKitSuet-Chin




Ann’s account of losing her infant son Andrew will resonate with anyone who has had the misfortune to give birth to a child who has struggled to live.  As pastors at Ann’s church and as bereaved parents ourselves we felt for Ann through these recordings of her journal.  These pages tell of the trauma she felt during the 55 days of sitting by Andrew’s side watching him struggle for breath, loving him but being helpless to save him. 
Robyn and Jonathan Dove, Pastors
As you describe in detail your feelings, and the day by day actions etc, it makes the reader feel like we are right there in that hospital watching and feeling all that is happening.  Karen Chan JP
Words of healing: The Aucklander
A mother's account of the death of her newborn son has been turned into a book in the hope it will help other mothers heal. Rebecca Blithe meets the author.
"For parents undergoing similar experiences this book could be a great comfort. For health professionals 'in this field', I would see it as essential reading."
Dr Simon Rowley.
It really resonated for me when you wrote "we belong to the club of bereaved parents" - it is not a club I wanted to join, but I have been so blessed by so many people I have met who belong to this club.
Many of our newly bereaved parents comment that they appreciate meeting and talking to "older" bereaved parents
