For Parents, Families, and the Public

Parents of a stillborn infant may not know why their baby died, or what it means for their future. They may wonder if their thoughts and feelings are normal, and commonly feel isolated. Family and friends may be unsure how to react and wonder what they might do to help. These pages may relieve some of these uncertainties.
