What is a bereavment Doula?
No one ever wants to think about the possibility of losing a child. It is a horrific thought. Sometimes it does happen, and you need support from those specially trained to help you through that time. Enter the bereavement doula. They are there to help you process, and know what you may need. She is there to support through pregnancy, labor and postpartum just like a birth doula does, but for those who are experiencing a loss. This is a tender time, one which must be respected. Bereavement doulas can do that for you.
