Description
Having a baby in neonatal care is one of the hardest things a parent can face. This handbook was created to help you make sense of what you’re feeling, the things that are hard to say out loud, and the things no one really talks about.
It covers the full emotional reality of NICU: anxiety, anger, grief, guilt, disconnection, and the complicated feelings that come with going home. It also holds space for the glimmers, the moments of hope, connection, and meaning that can exist in the hardest times.
Topics include understanding your nervous system under stress, feeling disconnected from your baby, guilt and self-blame, grief and loss, navigating uncertainty, and preparing to leave the NICU.
Written by Dr Frankie Harrison, Clinical Psychologist and NICU mum, and shaped by the words of parents who have been where you are.
A small contribution from each printed copy goes to The NICU Space CIC to fund ongoing support for neonatal families.
