Start Here: What Is Grief Informed Perinatal Care?

What happens after the baby dies, and why does care so often stop when a family leaves the hospital?

Welcome to Grief Informed Perinatal Care, a podcast for doulas, nurses, therapists, birth workers, postpartum professionals, caregivers, and anyone supporting families through pregnancy and infant loss.

I’m Vallen Webb, founder of Evelyn James & Company, and this work is deeply personal and professional for me. In this trailer, I’m sharing why this podcast exists, what grief-informed perinatal care actually means, and why families deserve continuity of care from hospital to home throughout the first year after loss.

We’ll talk honestly about pregnancy and infant loss, grief, trauma, postpartum recovery, maternal mental health, partners, siblings, pregnancy after loss, professional boundaries, provider wellbeing, and the things our systems still aren’t getting right.

Because the baby may have died.

The need for care did not.

  • Follow Grief Informed Perinatal Care so you don’t miss what’s coming next.
