She explained that bereavement doulas are contingency planners.<\/p>\n<p>Through this non-profit, they help people navigate the logistics of infant loss, while never losing focus on the heart of the matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In perinatal loss, a lot of parents have suffered regrets. They don&#8217;t remember what their baby&#8217;s face looks like, they don&#8217;t remember how it feels to hold their baby in their arms,&#8221; said Perez.<\/p>\n<p>With Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas, it maximizes love and minimizes regrets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is something I think, healing and comforting, when someone&#8217;s like, hey, none of this is scary to me. You can borrow some of my not scared and so that you can&#8217;t remember exactly how much you love your baby,&#8221; said Perez.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It just meant everything it really did,&#8221; Stampfel said.<\/p>\n<p>Doulas create memories, like bathing the baby, custom bracelets, and photos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re in that moment, you don&#8217;t think of these things,&#8221; said Stampfel.<\/p>\n<p>Grief often freezes people temporarily, while they&#8217;re overwhelmed and in a state of shock. However, the Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas help thaw the shock for mothers and their families.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It helps me process it, it helps me understand that he was here. He was real. And he was such a big part of my life, even for those five months,&#8221; said Stampfel.<\/p>\n<p>They help families remember grief only exists because love came first, and they&#8217;re never alone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They do have support,&#8221; Stampfel said. &#8220;That they do have people who have gone through something similar, and they also do have the Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The doulas&#8217; care extends to the entire family when they&#8217;re called upon. This nonprofit serves people in Allegheny County and the surrounding counties, too, basically any hospital the Pittsburgh Bereavement Doulas can get to in an hour or two, and they&#8217;ll be
