Held in Love: Support for Grieving Families
Grieving the passing of any treasured family member is heavy work.
Held in Love: Support for Grieving Families offers doula care to support the emotional and day-to-day needs as a family grieves. Over the course of our time together, Bridgetown Baby doulas - trained in bereavement support - will provide an embrace of listening, loving, holding space, and providing nourishment to help families on their healing journey.
This support is a beautiful gift for friends and family members to purchase for their loved ones. Sliding scale pricing available upon request; fees paid support Bridgetown Baby’s ability to continue to offer this service. Travel fee may apply.
