Effective July 1, 2024, P.S. merged with Perinatal Support Washington (PS-WA), and P.S. no longer exists as a standalone nonprofit organization. The merger was done to better serve our mission of supporting families facing miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. [Read More…]
How Can P.S. Help?
The death of a baby is a life-changing experience. Most parents are not able to satisfactorily grieve the loss of a newborn, or a baby who died during pregnancy. They are expected to put their lives back together and continue with life as if the loss did not occur. This is what society expects us to do. Parents need to grieve their loss. Although, this may seem difficult it is a necessary and natural process. Often the pain we have isn’t known or understood by the people we love and others. P.S. can help.
What You Are Experiencing
It is difficult to bring into focus what has really happened. You may have given birth, but now you don’t have a baby to take home. These experiences are hard to share, even with those close to you. Other people have trouble understanding what you are going through and what to say or do to help.
How We Support You
We hope Parent Support of Puget Sound, a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization put together by parents who have experienced the loss of a baby, will offer some insight into common feelings and experiences. Remember, however, that each experience is unique, and that not everyone follows a set pattern.
