My Nonprofit Reviews

The Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas were invaluable during the stillbirth of my daughter, Carolina Belle. My wife and I were given the unimaginable news at just over 6 months pregnant that Carolina’s heartbeat had stopped, and now my wife would need to be induced that day. She was admitted and the whole process took over a day. Doulas Sarah and Miriam provided unbelievable support and compassion through the whole experience. It was nice to have unbiased support at the hospital from non-family members whose advice was not influenced by emotion. Also, Sarah took many beautiful, candid photos of us with the baby and family, and was able to capture the moments of joy amongst all the pain and sorrow. We are forever grateful to Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas for being there to guide us through the worst experience of our life. They helped us make precious memories with our baby while that was the last thing we were thinking about in the midst of all the chaos. They maintained a perfect balance of supportive presence while giving us as much space as we needed when we needed it. Thank you to Sarah, Miriam, and Heather Bradley for coordinating everything!

We will always love you, our beautiful Carolina.
