OUR SIGNATURE PROGRAM-SELECT AND RECEIVE A PERSONALIZED POEM
JOIN AN ENDURING COMMUNITY FOR PREGNANCY AND NEWBORN LOSS
Maternl is founded on a model of care I have practiced throughout my career; the use of language to help the grieving and healing process:
words we write, words we read, and words we say and hear to serve as an invaluable source of solace and hope. I believe our words are songs
from our hearts: "songs of hope and songs for hope. I have written and continue to write words and thoughts in letters of condolence when my
patients have experienced a pregnancy, newborn or infant loss and include a personalized, original poem which I either send to them and / or
at their memorial services / funerals. This program permts you to obtain a personalized, original poem to memorialize, honor or pay tribute . . .
