I am a Doula based in Canada but am looking for resources to support a friend who gave birth to her baby at 24 weeks.
What I am really looking for are resources for the Mom after the birth to support her with the bereavement and connect her with other people who have had stillbirths.

The internet is overwhelming in terms of information so I would prefer some recommendations.

Thank you!

Thank you pambell for posting this website; I am connected to them on facebook but for some reason couldn't find it. I am relieved to have come across it again; many thanks.

I don't know if this could still be a choice for them, but Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep is an excellent resource for remembrance photography:

I also found the book Home/Birth by Arielle Greenberg and Rachel Zucker to be a beautiful account of stillbirth. It is a book of poetry about birth that culminates in a story of still birth. The mother seems to find some peace. Sometimes, one woman's story is more helpful than a more general account of how stillbirth affects mothers.
