Overview

  • Sharing of loss stories.
  • Triggers at work (i.e. resuscitating a baby, caring for a pregnant patient, etc)
  • Wanting to change jobs (i.e. a new position that does not include OB patients or NICU babies, getting trained in aesthetics to decrease time in the OR, etc).
  • Challenges with husband/partner.
  • Options to more smoothly return to work after loss or start a new job shortly after a loss (i.e. what to share/not share with colleagues, a gradual return by starting part time and slowly increasing hours to full time, etc).
  • Ideas of how to honor your baby's memory.
