Evan’s Monumental Gifts would like to express gratitude to Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas for sponsoring our August 17th Carnival Fundraising Event. This sponsorship means alot to us, as Heather was Evan’s Doula. She helped us make memories during Evan’s birth and after he passed away, and helped us along the way in between, with anything we needed. This is a special organization. Remember what they do, if you ever find yourself in a similar situation as our family. This is their mission from their website Pittsburghbereavementdoulas.com. You can visit there to learn more. The mission of Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas is to support birthing persons and their loved ones who are experiencing pregnancy or newborn loss by providing compassionate guidance through the process of birth, meeting baby for the first time, making the time together meaningful, and saying goodbye.Like a traditional birth doula, they provide physical, emotional and informational support during labor and birth but have special training in perinatal loss. Bereavement doulas will work with parents to honor this birth and help them make decisions based on their unique values, beliefs, and preferences. With gentle care, doulas will explain what is happening, what is about to happen, and what could happen. We want parents to be left with as little regret as possible, given the overwhelming and sometimes immediate situation. More importantly, they have a passion to work with these families and have hearts full of love for these babies.
