Mending Broken Hearts When a Baby Dies is the first program from the Grieving in the NICU series. It is an 80-minute chaptered video on DVD that focuses solely on parents, helping them with their bereavement. The video is designed to help caregivers play an integral part in the lives of parents faced with the death of a baby. Two distinct phases of grief are recognized, "Shock and Intense Grief" and "Picking Up the Pieces." Grief experiences are shared by parents, grandparents, siblings, and grief couseling experts in this comprehensive and valuable resource.  Now available in the online catalog.  Please call the National Office at 800-821-6819 to order over the phone.
