For loved ones

Witnessing perinatal bereavement can raise a lot of questions. Mostly about how to act, what to say and how to behave with a loved one experiencing perinatal bereavement. Sometimes, we talk too much, other times, not enough. Sometimes we downplay the situation without meaning to and, despite our best intentions, the effect is the opposite of what we wanted. Here are some resources to answer some your questions and help you support your loved ones:
