Doulas Assisting in Pregnancy and Infant Loss
BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT
DAPIL
DAPIL (Doulas assisting in Pregnancy and Infant Loss ) was born out of the desire to bring judgement-free bereavement support to people experiencing the loss of a pregnancy, no matter the gestation of their baby or their religious affiliation.
I believe every baby deserves to be honored and aim to do so by collaborating with primary care providers to provide a service where families feel supported, heard and respected.
It is my sincere hope that I will eventually be able to expand this network, and establish an NGO to help facilitate the training of more bereavement supporters so that bereaved parents can be supported and nurtured during this traumatic time.
What is a Bereavement Doula
A bereavement doula provides support to families who are experiencing either an anticipated or unexpected loss of a pregnancy or infant. Understanding how grief affects people, we offer assistance for miscarriage, stillbirth, or terminal diagnosis during pregnancy, sudden infant death and NICU care. We comprehensive provide physical, emotional and informational aid, in a non-medical capacity, through the journey of loss.
