My Nonprofit Reviews

I met Heather Bradley on one of the most horrific days of my life. My daughter Kayla had gone to the hospital for a standard NST and found that her baby girl had died at 35 weeks. We were both devastated, once we arrived on the 2nd floor in Labor and Delivery, Heather was there and she immediately introduced herself and explained a little bit about her role and her organization. We listened but we were still somewhat in a fog. As time went on we were able to get settled in the room and start the process of inducing labor. As we waited, Heather began to chat with us she also made us feel at ease and helped us get through one of the most difficult and life altering situations we have ever experienced. Heather never left our side I thought that she would go home but she stayed in the hospital from the time we arrived until after our baby girl Nova Rose Parker-Owens came into this world. She assisted us in bathing, weighing and dressing little Nova. Heather was also instrumental in helping and advising us on how to plan and prepare for a service. I have never in all my life had to bury a child and burying my granddaughter was the most heart-breaking thing I've ever had to do. Heather was also wonderful in getting me all the information and connecting me with all people that I needed to be in contact with to make the process a little more seamless. She alsoassisted us in getting dry ice because we chose to bring Nova home until the day of the service. On the day of the service had there was also there at the funeral and attended the service with us. I cannot say enough about her professionalism her compassion her patience her understanding and her over all love for what she does. Nova will truly be missed and we will think of her every day but when we do we'll also think of Heather Bradley and the Pittsburgh Bereavement Foundation for all they have done for us. We will be eternally grateful.
