What is perinatal loss?

Perinatal loss (miscarriage, natural stillbirths and induced stillbirths, neonatal death, abortion, and other loss of a baby surrounding birth has rarely been discussed in Japan until now, and society tended to view it as taboo. This meant that parents not only had nowhere to talk about it, but were forced to forget as soon as possible, and were hurt by insensitive words that ignored the existence of their baby. They faced their long period of grief alone, with no support.
