@preciouslilppl @leighakendall @jenwhatling @TheLegacyOfLeo I was turned away from helping sands several times, which is why i set up my own things. I already had ptsd before losing finley, I needed distraction from the trauma. Yes, maybe it just deferred the grief - but I survived and have achieved alot during my time of healing

@leighakendall @ForJoaquim @TheLegacyOfLeo @jenwhatling @AchingArms 10 years on & i am back in therapy again, it hurts as much as ever

@CorrinaGB @slummyUSmummy @MarcHarder @FivewaysNP @EKHUFTMaternity Ours was mostly funded by parents, local charities and the hospital charity/donations received to the bereavement suite fund.

@CorrinaGB @MarcHarder @TheLegacyOfLeo @MedNeg_Wolfies @merrymunky @FivewaysNP I have seen TFMR used by parents, when it is also for medical reasons affecting the mum.

@TheLegacyOfLeo @collinge1717 @MarcHarder @MedNeg_Wolfies @merrymunky @CorrinaGB @FivewaysNP Even when the training is provided, it takes a huge attitude shift. #BabyLossHour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@CorrinaGB @fauziapaize @TheLegacyOfLeo @MarcHarder @MedNeg_Wolfies @merrymunky @FivewaysNP private space, access to scans and info 24/7 not wait until after the weekend, single rooms so dont have to miscarry with a curtain round you, options and respect for memory making if they wish. parents miscarrying at home to have one of our home care kits #BabyLossHour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@TheLegacyOfLeo @fauziapaize @MarcHarder @MedNeg_Wolfies @merrymunky @CorrinaGB @FivewaysNP This was my experience too. Our local epac doesnt even have a private space to sob in after you get the news. #BabyLossHour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@MarcHarder @MedNeg_Wolfies @CorrinaGB @FivewaysNP How is that planned to be tackled? It would be important to standardise location contents & resources available, but i think decor & appearance should be decided by local people not branded centrally #BabyLossHour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@TheLegacyOfLeo @sammyjtaylor1 @MarcHarder @KingsCollegeNHS at the same time some hospitals don't have a suite, some hospitals refurbish a suite less than 3 years old, after @TabithasTrust funded it, without even including them in the redesign. a more joined up approach and a way to find out what happens locally is needed #babylosshour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@CorrinaGB @abcdefgeorg @MarcHarder @FivewaysNP @BTHFT I'm so sorry, it is so unacceptable that your experience would be different in other places. Finley is 10 now, and despite the massive shift in last couple of years, things are still not consistent #babylosshour.

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@MarcHarder I'm surprised that 87% provided ongoing access to support, i thought it would be much lower. It seems lower in my experience of people accessing our charity. #babylosshour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@CorrinaGB @MarcHarder @FivewaysNP This is the one my charity @TT_Together refurbished, we stayed here with finley 10 years ago, but it was a clinical room then. https://t.co/kNtDqY03jL

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]

@CorrinaGB @MarcHarder @FivewaysNP It is cosy, less clinical, has all the resources needed for a loss situation, and careful thought about any non relevant equipment etc. It has a double bed for partners to stay. It is usually quiet & away from other babys #babylosshour

[Mel & The BA Team @ButterflyAwards]
