I'd like to speak to the second point about the dedicated resources, because I think that falls more in line with my expertise as a psychologist and also with the research that I obtained.
If you're going to have dedicated resources, they should be evidence-based. Also, bereaved parents should be consulted on those resources to make sure that they actually fit with their experiences. I'd also like to underline the importance of training the professionals working with the bereaved in general and bereaved parents and siblings specifically.
We did a small project here in Montreal with Le Phare, which is a children's hospice. They created an online training program for nurses at CLSC in pediatric palliative care, and it included a section on bereaved parents and supporting bereaved parents. I'm mentioning that to show the feasibility of doing something like that. Not only should we have dedicated resources, but we should have easy-to-obtain training for professionals working with bereaved parents.
Thank you.
