Description
The Loss Task Force has become a central component of The Rooted Bridge's offerings. We have formal partnerships with Centennial Medical Center, St. Thomas Midtown Hospital, and Williamson Medical Center. The program allows the families to have an advocate walk with them through their stillbirth/loss experience at the hospital- a time that has been identified as essential in being able to process and cultivate meaning for the overall healing journey through loss. The advocate then establishes a follow up session in the home to bring them their personalized support items, as well as get them connected with resources in the community such as lactation consultants, loss doulas, and grief/loss therapists who specialize in pregnancy loss. The loss task force has established a volunteer base of advocates that have been trained in the loss advocate curriculum.
