Deal with the Loss of a Baby

This is a big step for me to add a page on the subject of infant loss. I suffered the loss of three pregnancies in a row over six years before the wonderful gift of the birth of my second child. As a Neonatal Nurse I work hard to help parents take home a healthy child, but dealing with the loss of one of my little patients is a hard task. I feel that both nurses and parents will benefit from the information here.
Thank you to Rebekah Mitchell, from MEND for getting me started.
