Good morning Kate!

I would enjoy connecting with you and reading your publication! Please feel free to reach me at [email protected]. Thank you for your comment and the work you’re doing in this area. My doctoral work focuses on perinatal bereavement care education for emergency room nurses. Although there are several, formal education and confidence of the ER RN has been identified as the major barrier to incorporating bereavement care.

Good morning Anita!

The NPA meeting provided the forum for ground breaking multidisciplinary collaboration and I am very proud to have been a participant! Congratulations to you and the entire group on reaching consensus on the NPA Position Statement which provides guidelines for perinatal bereavement care for women who miscarry in the emergency department. This Blog would be a wonderful arena for dissemination!

Joyce

Good morning Eileen!

I am so pleased that you reached out to respond to my blog once again. I attempted to reach you via your website but was unable to connect. Next month I begin my doctoral project providing RTS training for emergency room nurses and evaluating their confidence in providing perinatal bereavement care to women who miscarry. Please email me at [email protected]. I would be honored to incorporate LLOST Foundation supplies. I look forward to connecting soon!

Could you send me supplies for 30-40 until I get their ‘buy in’ on this new endeavor? My address at work is
Ann Coyle
100 Bowman Dr
Voorhees,NJ 08043
Can anyone share with me what your hospital does with miscarriage remains? How are they disposed of? Do you have any type of service? Can parents bring the baby back for respectful disposition from home? Just trying to get our hospital in board with respectful disposition. Thanks!!

Please let me know if you would like the LLOST Foundation provide supplies for the families that lose babies in the ED.

Amy,
I am just working my way into the ED to work with Moms with early losses. Our hospital does send Moms as early as 15-16 weeks to the Labor and Delivery unit usually, but the earliest ones still go to the ED. I would love to provide those nurses with any keepsakes to help the families through this difficult time.

I so look forward to hearing about your DNP project final results. You have chosen such an important topic and your work and writing will help so many women get the care they need and deserve. I hope that we can keep in touch–I know you will help us learn and grow in our knowledge and skills. Women and their families experiencing a miscarriage need their health care providers to be interested in what each of them is thinking, feeling, and what their goals are. For that, developing a relationship that shows we care is both essential and supportive. With deep respect.

The fact that I was never allowed to see my baby, but saw them throw her in a cup, place a rubber glove over it, and carry her out of the room haunts me every single day of my life.
