CLEVELAND — Every year a family will mourn the loss of a child through prenatal loss, which includes miscarriages, stillbirths or neonatal loss. University Hospitals says 24,000 or one out of 160 families in the U.S. experience this devastation.
Kingsberg says the level of support and care families need from healthcare providers is unique and required. While UH has various resources to help, the hospital is now presenting a playwright film to help with training, called “I Hate This .” “It is profoundly moving. It is very difficult and that's why we have an expert panel at the end of the play to make sure that the audience has the chance to express their own feelings about this and have some guidance as to how to process this,” Kingsberg said. “This is a very impactful play. We're going to use it for training purposes so that our caregivers and our staff have access to it so that we can process what their own feelings may be about watching this.
“My wife was suffering pre-eclampsia which not only led to the death of our child at 30 weeks but also was a great health risk to my wife as well,” Henson said. “It was a shock and it was a surprise to learn all of these things. You’re learning one set of things to prepare for a living child and then you have to make all of these other decisions.”
