title: The lost infant: impact on the family.
abstract: Stillbirth, sudden infant death syndrome, death of a premature infant or death of an infant through disease give rise grieving processes with many features in common. Feelings, particularly between the parents, and between parents and surviving children, must be dealt with if the grief reaction is to achieve a normal resolution. The family physician can be extremely helpful in bringing these issues to light.
