Request miscarriage boxes for your office, a remembrance basket for a current patient, or a conversation about an ongoing partnership.
For doctors, nurses, midwives, hospitals and birthing centers
Unspoken Motherhood gives medical providers a tangible, no-cost way to acknowledge the life of a baby and care for the mother experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss—no matter the stage of pregnancy.
How it works
Rachel personally receives provider requests and responds as soon as possible. She may ask about the location, timing, and immediate circumstances so the most appropriate resources can be coordinated.
Request miscarriage boxes for your office, a remembrance basket for a current patient, or a conversation about an ongoing partnership.
A patient’s name does not need to be disclosed for a box or basket to be provided. Share only the information needed to coordinate the request.
Your team gives the box or basket to the mother. When available and appropriate, a nurse advocate may also support the mother and medical team in the facility.
Unspoken Motherhood provides boxes and baskets to medical providers to give to their patients. These gifts are not mailed or delivered directly to individuals after they have left medical care. The website’s resource directory helps families find ongoing support for the next stage of grief.
What providers can expect
Boxes and baskets are intended for mothers experiencing miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss regardless of trimester or gestational age.
There is no cost to the mother or medical provider. When an office uses its supply of miscarriage boxes, it can request more.
Patient names are not required. Unspoken Motherhood coordinates only the information needed to deliver appropriate support.
The nurse-advocate role
A nurse advocate enters the hospital as both a nurse and a mother who has experienced pregnancy or infant loss. Her medical background makes the care setting familiar, while her lived experience helps her remain present with grief without minimizing it or trying to explain it away.
She may deliver a remembrance basket, help a family understand remembrance options, and connect the mother with practical resources. She does not replace the hospital nurse, physician, midwife, counselor, or other professional providing medical care.
Learn more about each serviceCurrent service area
Support in the Dallas area depends on nurse-advocate availability, and every effort is made to help each mother receive a remembrance basket through her medical provider.
Because nurse advocates serve on an on-call basis, an advocate may not always be able to reach the hospital while a mother is there. When an in-hospital visit is not possible, every effort is made to bring a basket to her medical provider by the two-week postpartum follow-up.
If a mother is currently in your care, call or send the provider request form.
