We recognize that nurses, midwives, social workers, doctors, doulas and hospital staff play an integral role in providing families a roadmap for navigating their experiences of pregnancy and infant loss. We also recognize that health care professionals deeply feel for and grieve with loss families.
As a health care professional working with PAIL families, you are a invaluable resource and bridge to support for parents. Your responsibility is great; how families feel their care was managed during a loss can impact their journey of healing. It often falls to health care professionals to advocate and inform families on how to create rituals and memory making during their time in hospital.
