We were just talking about an awareness campaign, and I’m also thinking about training. Services like those provided by the PAIL Network, which offers resources available virtually throughout Ontario, are beginning to be established in Quebec. The goal is to provide support resources whether virtually or in person.
Furthermore, we need to provide training for health care professionals so that they, too, are better equipped to support parents and are more aware that perinatal grief is not necessarily over when they meet the family during the next pregnancy. Things can resurface. We were talking about waves earlier. When a woman gets pregnant again, both parents may feel very anxious about how the pregnancy will end. Some parents told me they started crying the moment their child was born.
