"Love as it is manifested in institutions": reflections on the art and science of bereavement care in the neonatal ward
This article is a spin-off from a prize-winning essay (link provided) by this author. Here, the author writes: “In the months after our baby son died, I often reflected upon the compassion of the people who looked after us in the hospital during the brief hours that spanned his birth and death.” She offers applause for the care she, her son, and her family received: “I am reminded of the complexity of systems that must have been in place on the day our baby was born, even though at the time, in the depths of our sorrow, we just felt it as love.”
