First study of my PhD has been published! Men's grief following pregnancy/neonatal loss does not exist in isolation, but in a complex ecosystem of interacting factors. Multi-level strategies are needed to reduce isolation & increase access to support. https://t.co/6sazV4DoK8

For 5 years I've had the privilege of listening, learning & writing about men's experiences of pregnancy loss & neonatal death. Yesterday I submitted my #PhD thesis!! Eternally grateful for stories shared & support I had. This is for all dads, and their beautiful babies. #PhDone!

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

"...talking about our experience with others helped me feel less isolated and provided a sense of comfort [...] We weren’t alone in this after all." These stories never get easier to read, but highlights the importance of giving men/parents space to share their feelings 💛

Heartfelt and powerful discussions at the @ISAStillbirth 2022 conference non-birthing parent panel. It's so important that our language, health systems and support services acknowledge and validate *all parents*, including fathers and non-birthing mothers 💙💜

[Prof Patricia Leahy-Warren @Pleahy_w]
