Type of Loss: Stillborn

More about Jenna's Story: Jenna's second pregnancy with her daughter Julianna (Jules), was what she considered a textbook pregnancy and moved through the typical milestones until Jules' movement was not as consistent or as strong as expected. Although everything along the way had been fine, Jenna couldn't shake this feeling that something wasn't right. Jenna went in for a check up to be told the devastating news that Jules no longer had a heartbeat. Find out how Jenna has turned her pain into purpose with a research survey to help other loss families.

Parent to Parent Advice Survey:

After her second daughter, Julianna was stillborn in May 2023, Jenna started researching bereavement care to honor Julianna and help the loss community. There is currently very little research on parent advice to new loss parents. The first research project is a survey that takes 20-40 minutes to complete, depending on the level of detail provided in responses and asks questions about demographics, time at the hospital, and early grief.

The goal of this study is to reduce the chances that parents say, โ€œI wish I would have...โ€ Please consider participating in this research.

If you had your baby was stillborn, no matter the amount of time that has passed since birth, please consider completing the survey below to help other families: https://elmhurst.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6yY97I3qSsviPOu
