Ep 21. Finding Support After Loss with Be Still My Heart: Central Oregon Birth Bereavement - a podcast by Liz Winters & Sharon Bailey
from 2019-06-20T19:39:52
Central Oregon Birth Bereavement is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded to provide bereavement birth services to women/families who are currently facing pregnancy/infant loss (which may include miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm labor/loss, fatal fetal diagnosis and/or neonatal death) or who have experienced a loss.
Today Liz is interviewing Jenny, founder and president, about the incredible service this non-profit provides to women and families in Central Oregon. A bereavement doula relationship can look however you want it to look. This is about what a bereavement doula is, what they can do, and the relationship they can have with each family. There are different styles of support, a uniqueness to each mother/father's grief, and how Be Still My Heart is trying to make an impact on how society treats loss. Free of charge, and available to any family whether they reside in Central Oregon or not, Be Still My Heart is about love without judgement, support without forcing, and healing without a timeline.
The hurdle that most often face the bereavement doula community is how to convince each mother who has experienced a loss that her loss is deserving of a doula, and deserving of intentional postpartum time to process the highs and lows, the grief, the physical/hormonal adjustments, and the future of motherhood for her. Jenny is also passionate about being a doula for rainbow pregnancies which ties in so closely with loss.
