  • Florence Arts and Business Center 140 Pine Street, Unit 2B Florence, MA 01062 *free parking available in building lot (map)

Carol McMurrich, EdM, leads participants in an exploration of successful, compassionate bereavement care.

COST/ACCREDITATION: $45; 2.5 contact hours through ANAMass (This nursing continuing professional development activity was approved by American Nurses Association Massachusetts, an accredited approver by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation)

DESCRIPTION: This abbreviated professional training session is an essential annual course for those who care for parents at the bedside when a baby dies. Perfect for nurses, doulas, doctors and midwives who are there when a family learns of a baby's death, and who must then coach them through the process of delivery, time together, and saying goodbye. 

McMurrich’s professional trainings are designed with nurses and OBGYNs on the front lines and are based on her extensive training with the Perinatal Loss and Infant Death Alliance, Share, Pregnancy and Infant Loss, Inc, her own research, and her thirteen years of work with hundreds of bereaved families across Western Massachusetts and beyond.
