"Baby loss"

I received counselling while I was attending the maternity hospital because I lost a baby. When I was discharged I stopped receiving any mental health care.
It contributing to my mental health deteriorating as I planned the funeral for my baby, collected her from the mortuary and waited for the post-mortem results. As a consequence I suffer from PTSD. I am being ignored and the only support is either from charities (online, which is not ideal) or if I have the money to go private. I don't understand how I am not being taken care of.
