About this listen

 Supporting families through the profound loss of stillbirth requires both clinical expertise and emotional sensitivity. This episode explores how obstetric care professionals can support grieving families through compassionate care. Our guests will examine strategies for clinicians to manage their own mental health, integrate mental health resources into practice, and train residents in empathetic patient support. The episode includes insights from a mental health expert on discussing grief and loss with patients and perspectives from individuals who have experienced stillbirth on the support they need from health care professionals. Dvora Entin, LCSW, PMH-C, adjunct professor at Wurzweiler School of Social Work, and Uma M. Reddy, MD, MPH, FACOG, vice chair of research and professor of obstetrics and gynecology in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, join Labor of Love host Veronica Maria Pimentel, MD, MS, FACOG, to share clinical insights on compassionate care.

Special commentary provided by Katharine White, MD, MPH, FACOG, at Boston Medical Center and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, and Erica M. Freeman at Sisters in Loss.
