“I would go to appointments and I really wanted them to acknowledge that my first daughter had died.”

The mom of two daughters, the eldest of whom passed away from Type II Gaucher’s Disease at 16 months, shares a piece of advice for providers working with bereaved parents. She encourages providers to ask questions when they’re not sure, especially when it comes to how a family might want to talk about their child who has passed during a subsequent pregnancy.
