Comments from Course
Participants
“I had no idea the long term effects of the death
of a baby. I guess I thought it was a sad thing but
not one that affected the rest
of their lives.” (Social Worker)
“I am going back to my hospital and change the
way miscarriage patients are treated.
I am horrified at the pain we have caused
because we just didn’t know.”
(Day Surgery RN)
“It was so helpful to hear directly from parents
what helped them and embarrassing to hear some
of the hurtful things we say and do that we
thought were helping.” (Chaplain)
“I realized how powerful we caregivers
are to change the experience of bereaved
parents.” (L&D RN)
“I have more confidence in my ability to care and
provide for families.” (Clinic office staff
member)
