Why this matters

Pregnancy and infant loss are one of the most devastating experiences a family can face. Yet the care families receive is often inconsistent, fragmented, and difficult to access when it is needed most.

Providers want to offer meaningful, compassionate care. The Collaborative ensures they have the training, tools, and support needed.

Together, we are building a more connected, compassionate approach to care—one that supports providers in how they show up for families, and strengthens the systems around them.

“I am new to the Bereavement Coordinator role, and joining the Collaborative has helped me build connections with local and national colleagues. The resources, wisdom, and validation shared by the members of this group have made a big impact on my work.”

What is the Collaborative?

The National Perinatal Loss Collaborative is a partnership between Return to Zero: Hope and Jane’s Room, bringing together national expertise in bereavement support and bridging hospital systems, community-based support, and lived experience.

Through shared learning and connection, we are creating a space where providers can learn, connect, and grow together.

“There is immense value in coming together to share our stories, exchange ideas, problem-solve, and support one another. Despite us living and working in different states, it is clear that a thread unites us all.”

Supporting providers strengthens the care families receive. 

Together, we are building a future where every baby is honored, every family is supported, and every provider is prepared.

  • "I was truly energized to connect with colleagues who share my passion for helping loss families through such a vulnerable, uncertain time. Learning from others experiences and hospital approaches was refreshing and deeply rewarding."

    Katherine, Northwestern Prentice Women’s Hospital

  • "I truly appreciated the collaboration and networking that was facilitated by Jane’s Room and Return to Zero. I was able to join with other bereavement coordinators, bedside nursing staff, and other disciplines who help support bereavement families in discussions regarding memory making, resource utilization, and how to best assist the family through their navigation of the grief process. It truly is becoming a member of the ‘front row club’ you never wanted to enter, but glad when you encounter someone who can speak your same language."

    Amanda, Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital, Houston, TX

  • "I had an incredibly invigorating experience connecting with such passionate, like-minded individuals. There is immense value in coming together to share our stories, exchange ideas, problem-solve, and support one another. Despite us living and working in different states, it is clear that a thread unites us all: a deep commitment to providing the highest quality care for our patients and to building thoughtful structures and systems that support families navigating perinatal loss. It is a powerful reminder that the work we do each day truly matters."

    Jennifer, Northwell, Long Island Jewish Hospital, Long Island, NY

  • "Being surrounded by people who share the same passion for perinatal loss care is incredibly meaningful. The open exchange of ideas and the opportunity to celebrate the impact of Jane’s Room alongside such a supportive community ultimately strengthens the care we provide to families.”
