This book, full of sweetness and also of pain, comes to our hands to connect us with a reality that we rarely talk about, because in the face of death and loss we are often left without tools, and even more so when it comes to perinatal grief. But there are sons, there are daughters, who give birth too soon. There are pregnancies that do not reach full term, births that are too premature, and newborns whose precious little lives shine and depart in just an instant. How does one go through this trance, what is it like to be, to feel, to know that one is the mother of a life that has departed, where does one find the light to continue on the way? With honesty and tenderness, Stephanie Galán, midwife, aromatherapist and Noah’s mother, tells us her experience of love, pain and healing, after the early arrival of her son to this plane, and his departure. Together with the illustrations of Francisca Bravo, the pages of “Maternidad Azul” become a warm companion for mothers who have faced the death of a daughter or son, and for their partners or families, as well as for professionals who dedicate their lives to attend gestations and births, who will find in this book a tool full of sincerity and hope.
