Why do we need a Parent Bereavement Room?

The care that bereaved parents receive in hospital following the death of their baby is crucial. These experiences may be remembered by parents for the rest of their lives, and bad experiences are likely to exacerbate feelings of pain and grief for bereaved parents, potentially for many years to come. Small details can mean a great deal to recently bereaved parents, and the environment in which care is delivered is of particular importance.

Dedicated bereavement care rooms and suites are a necessity to ensure that parents receive care that best suits their needs. Ideally, each hospital should have at least one dedicated bereavement care room or suite where parents can be cared for following the death of their baby.

These dedicated rooms, used only in cases where parents have experienced or are likely to soon experience the death of their baby, should provide a private and comfortable environment

How to support the room

In partnership with 4Louis, MY Hospitals Charity are developing a dedicated Parent Bereavement Room at Pinderfields Hospital for families who experience the devastating loss of a baby.

This thoughtfully designed space will include soft furnishings, calming colours, and private kitchen and dining facilities, creating a peaceful and supportive environment. With your support, this room will offer parents the privacy, compassion and dignity they need at the most difficult of times.
