Today hubby and I spent the afternoon working with the NHS maternity bereavement team and a few other bereaved parents to rewrite the survey that goes out to parents who have lost about their care and gave our input to a new toolkit for parents as well as better training for medical staff. This will be put out nationally this summer.
I am so grateful for the amazing care and information we received when our world fell apart in September but in other hospitals this is not always the norm and some things we would want to be done better. We told them of what mattered the most.
We feel privaledged and honoured to have been asked and to hopefully make a difference for future bereaved parents.

For us the medical staff held us emotionally when our babies hearts had stopped and guided us through what we can only describe as a nightmare over the next few days and beyond to go through labour to meet them but then have to say goodbye. Yet amidst all this we remember the wonderful support of the midwives who sensitively looked after our needs as a family and respected our girls to the highest level they deserve and acknowledged who they were by calling them by name.

Being a part of this meeting today and what is to come is just one way we hope to continue to honour our beautiful daughters Chloe and Grace here on earth though they are not here with us 💗💗
