Bereaved parents want to participate in research. As researchers we need to create easy access to participation. Read our new paper!

A great start to the #NESBereavement2023 conference debunking the ‘stages of grief’ which is still ubiquitous in society… yet we know there are no ‘stages’ and grief is not a linear process. We know this all too well in our care/ research at @PregnancyLossIE & @marymountcork

Having an amazing day at the Rainbow Clinic National Learning and Sharing Event in Manchester. Watched a great presentation by @KateObst, who perfectly explained why dads need to be included in perinatal loss support. Looking forward to further engaging conversations

So important, so often dad's are the forgotten ones, not just in pregnancy loss but also death of babies and children. Well done all.

Stigma and (double) disenfranchisement affects men too. Men's grief after perinatal loss is often delayed, this has implications for when and for how long we need to offer mental health support to men. Thank you @KateObst @mypsanz @GradSchoolUofA @sahmriAU #BetterTogether

My wife & I started an email account for our baby so we could send updates & give him the password when 18. He was stillborn. I still send emails to him without my wife knowing because it's the only way I can cope when everyone asks if my wife is OK but they never ask me.

Great work by @KateObst showing some of the factors affecting men's grief after pregnancy and baby loss. Acknowledgement of men's grief from friends, family and others so important. Tailored suport for men is needed. #ISAISPID2021 #DrivingChange @ISAISPID2021 @CREStillbirth

So important for us to work on strategies to support fathers through pregnancy loss too. @KateObst's poignant words: "not a patient, but not a visitor..." really encompassed what needs to change. @ISAISPID2021
