181: Embracing Healing and Education in Pregnancy Loss with Rebecca Eggering
Rebecca Eggering, a dedicated professional who has devoted over two decades in supporting families during their most vulnerable times as a Labor and Delivery nurse. Recently, Rebecca has embraced a pivotal role as the Share Bereavement Coordinator at Anderson Hospital in Maryville, IL, marking a new chapter in her mission to provide care and understanding.
Rebecca effectively enhances pregnancy loss education among the OB community in the local area. Her approach involves personalized visits to the medical staff in each OB doctor’s office, fostering a network of support and empathy for families navigating pregnancy loss.
Within this episode we talked about:
· Using gentle language, rather than always using medical terminology
· Taking much-needed time with the families.
· Respectful Care by Funeral Homes for all pregnancy losses.
· Sensitive Scheduling for women that have experienced a loss.
· Creating Lasting Mementos with and for the families
Rebecca leaves us with a powerful message of self-compassion: "Give yourself grace, you may become angrier more quickly, and again give yourself grace." This reminder underlines the importance of patience and kindness towards oneself through the ebb and flow of emotions encountered in grief.
