I like that the very first thing you talk about is slowing things down. When I've experienced loss, the last thing I needed was the pressure of being rushed or having a flood of information without time to grasp it.

Working in the NICU, I encounter many parents who are struggling to process their situation and choices. This presentation is invaluable.

Thank you!
