A note from Rana Limbo (director of Bereavement Services) -
In 1981, Bereavement Services created the Resolve Through Sharing program for families whose baby dies during pregnancy or shortly after birth. For many years however, our name was shortened to RTS. Now — I'm excited to tell you —
we are again calling ourselves Resolve Through Sharing. If you would like to use that as your program or support group name
we would be delighted, and we have a trademark license agreement that allows you to do so. There's no cost. The agreement
provides clear guidelines to you and your hospital for providing educational services, training, and materials regarding counseling
and emotional support services (relating to dying, death, bereavement, and grief support) using the name Resolve Though Sharing.
Please log in below (your email address is your password) and click on announcements to access the agreement. If you have
any questions email us at berservs@gundluth.org, or call us at 608-775-4747 or 800-362-9567, extension 54747.

Perinatal Bereavement Photography
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep (nilmdts)
Bereavement photography represents a highly prized, yet technically challenging, memento for parents of babies who die. In addition to the photos that healthcare professionals take as part of a standard of care for bereaved families, there is a trend toward also using outside photographers. In the Summer 2007 issue of RTS Connection, we highlight innovations in bereavement photography featuring RTS-trained support persons and coordinators.
