Dealing with
grieving parents
Deal professionally and empathetically with (early) orphaned parents
There are no general answers to this question. Nevertheless, there are helpful tips to help affected parents and families. Grieving parents who receive appropriate care and support from the beginning have a higher chance of having a good grieving process. It is very important to us to spread our knowledge and experience in professional circles. Treating parents and their deceased children with dignity and respect is one of our major goals. ​We offer two lecture modules:
Lecture Module I
Lecture duration 2h
In the two-hour alternating lecture, the situation of the parents, the different mourning processes and overcoming the helplessness and speechlessness are discussed.
Tips are given on how parents with early losses can be accompanied professionally and empathetically.
The lecture module is suitable for everyone who is professionally involved with pregnancies, parents and children, eg counseling centers and medical professionals (including midwives).
Before each lecture we offer a free initial consultation. You can also contact us if you, as a specialist, are planning a training course on the subject of Star Childrenin your facility or practice.
Lecture module II
daily rate | Lecture duration 6h
The lecture module II "A dignified treatment of star children and their parents" is aimed at midwives, delivery room teams and medical professionals.
Unfortunately, the taboo subject of “miscarriage and stillbirth” still takes up far too little space in midwifery training to deal with those affected professionally and with dignity. The aim of the module is, among other things, to reduce fear of contact, to create precious memories and to establish your own concept for dealing with star children in the hospital or in the facility. In addition to theoretical knowledge, practical and personal experiences will accompany the module.
