Bereavement Supports for Parents & Birth Professionals
DoulaCare Ireland have developed this booklet as a resource for parents dealing with the grief of losing their baby and the health care professionals supporting them. We had developed it initially for our own team of doulas. In DoulaCare Ireland we offer bereavement doula support to clients and we wanted our team to have access to a full list of resources in order to support our clients. However we also realised that having access to this information is so important for anyone experiencing a loss - and to those supporting them. The loss of a baby is an incredibly sad, and often lonely time for parents. Whether you have lost a baby in the first trimester, had a stillbirthh or neonatal death it is a time of loss and empty arms. Being able to avail of support is crucial. There are an amazing amount of charitable organisations and resources for families in Ireland to help grieving parents mourn the loss of their baby. We hope that you find this booklet a help (and if you feel we are missing any supports of resources please email us to info@doulacare.ie and let us know so we can continue to keep this booklet updated Kind regards Mary & Jen April 2020
