Perinatal Grief and Loss Program
Here for You During Your Time of Grief
MultiCare's Perinatal Grief and Loss program offers compassionate care and help when you are faced with the death of your baby.
We form a partnership with you and your family to provide support and advice through the most difficult time of your life with immediate, short- or long-term assistance.
The Empty Arms Program provides as much or as little support you and your family may need. Some of the support offerings are:
- Photographs for services via CD
- Remembrance letters on key dates
- Individual or group support sessions
- Annual Memorial gathering
- Holiday support
