PROGRAMS
The loss of a baby is a deeply painful experience that many families experience daily. Sadly, support and understanding from extended family, friends, and coworkers can often include hurtful comments and a push to 'move on.' Having peer support beyond the families social circle can help parents feel less isolated and understand that many of their emotions and experiences are common in grieving the death of their baby.
It can be hard to talk about, but the more open we are, the better we can serve bereaved parents and their family. A parents love for their baby does not end. Having ongoing support and opportunities to honor their baby will be forever important. We as caregivers feel privileged to journey with a family as they grieve, heal, and continue the stories of their babies.
