Bereavement Resources for Parents
Experiencing the Loss of an Infant
We are so very sorry that your baby has died. There are no words to adequately express the sorrow you feel or our sympathy for you. Know that you are not alone.
Care Cards
We have partnered with the Angel Names Association (ANA) to spread the word to parents and hospitals about the Care Cards created by ANA. The cards provide useful information for those attempting to support grieving families. Parents have found it helpful to distribute the Care Cards in the hospital, at the funeral, or with cards thanking others for their expression of sympathy. Instead of not knowing what to say, recipients feel more comfortable in their attempts to support the parents.
To download these free Care Cards from the Angel Names Association Website, click on the following address: http://www.angelnames.org/site/anaonline/section.php?id=7855

Websites Resources
There are many places on the Internet that offer information and support to bereaved parents. Pregnancy loss, perinatal loss, miscarriage, stillbirth and neonatal death are just a few key words to use while searching for different sites. For a selection of sites we have collected from a variety of sources, click here for website resources.
Selected Bibliography
Some parents find that reading is a source of comfort and help during the grieving process. A selected bibliography of books on a variety of topics has been compiled as a resource that might be helpful during this difficult time. Click here for the selected bibliography.
