Episode 75: Walking Families Through Goodbye Inside the Sacred Work of a Perinatal Bereavement Nurse with Amber Onyan

In this episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast, Jennie Parks sits down with Amber Onyan, a Labor & Delivery nurse and Perinatal Bereavement Coordinator, for a compassionate conversation about caring for families experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, and complex pregnancies.

For more than 15 years, Amber has walked alongside parents during some of life's most joyful moments and some of its most heartbreaking goodbyes. Through her work, she has helped countless families navigate the overwhelming hours and days following the death of a baby, offering practical support, gentle guidance, and compassionate care during an unimaginable season of grief.

Together, Jennie and Amber discuss what a perinatal bereavement nurse does, what support often looks like after a baby dies, and how caregivers help families navigate difficult decisions while they are still processing devastating news. Amber also shares insight into labor and delivery after loss, memory-making opportunities parents may not know are available, compassionate postpartum care, the impact of Everly's Law, and ways friends and family can support grieving parents during hospitalization and beyond.

Whether your loss is recent or many years behind you, this conversation offers a glimpse into the sacred work of those who care for grieving families and serves as a reminder that you and your baby matter. We pray this episode helps you better understand your own experience, extends grace to your grieving heart, and reminds you that you are not alone in your loss.
