When a pregnancy ends with miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, medical termination, stillbirth or neonatal death, the parents may
experience anger, hopelessness, lowered self esteem and other feelings. It is healthy and helpful to allow the parents to feel, name and express their
emotions. Holding in feelings may cause delayed grief reactions. The shared grief felt by parents, families and friends will be expressed in different
ways. No two people grieve alike.
Finding supportive family, friends or professionals, who are able to listen, allows one to grieve in their own way. Taking time to work through grief in a
manner that is right for each person promotes healing and health.
PBSO provides a variety of unique support services that have been tailored specifically to meet the special needs of perinatally bereaved families. The
organization has also grown to include developing and implementing educational training seminars for health care professionals, caregivers, clergy and funeral directors on how to best support these families.
If you are grieving the loss of your baby we are here to help.
PBSO is an Ontario Trillium Grant Recipient for 2012.
On behalf of all grieving families in Ontario, Thank you to OTF for believing in and supporting our Grandparents/Family & Friends Seminars.
