Miscarriage support and compassionate leave for pregnancy loss
|
Every year in Australia, 103,000 couples discover that they've lost their baby early in pregnancy, and although this statistic touches many, miscarriage has long been suffered in silence.
Fortunately, this is changing.
Although no-one can bring a baby back, there is support available to people who've suffered this kind of death in the family, and the Australian government has recently introduced paid compassionate leave for those who've lost a pregnancy.
To see what help is available to grieving women and families, we spoke with Samantha Payne, CEO and Co-Founder of The Pink Elephants Support Network.
