Bereaved Motherhood and all it Entails

Bereaved Motherhood and all it Entails. Hi my name is Mackenzie and my firstborn son, Maverick John, was stillborn October 5th, 2019 at 39 weeks 2 days. I am passionate about our babies gone too soon regardless if SIDS, Stillbirth, or something else took them. This is a podcast walking through the journey of bereaved motherhood. It is designed to be a support to you wonderful mommas and provide a safe community where the hard often taboo topics are discussed. We also seek to raise awareness and educate family friends, and the broader community on a topic that rarely is often ignored. It is also our desire to help others better understand how our loss affects us, what is and isn't helpful, and how others can support and love those walking this road.

Today we talk about studies conducted specifically looking at how mom and dad who are exprincing stillbirth can best be supported to help their long term affects of grief and their loss. much if this information can also be applied to those who babies pass soon after birth. We also go in to how many of things can also apply to our core support community once we leave the hospital. The study we look specifically at is What bereaved parents want health care providers to know when their babies are stillborn: a community-based participatory study.
