Management attitude to Grandparents of Stillbirth Baby

"Management attitude to Grandparents of Stillbirth Baby"

About: Warrington Hospital / Maternity

(as a parent/guardian),

Awful attitude towards myself and my Husband by management after the stillbirth of our Grandchild in Warrington Hospital. After expressing concern re my Daughter and her health caused by their insensitivity, I have been told to stop contacting them. May I ask of the Hospital if they realise that a tragedy like this affects the whole family. I myself am having to deal with the loss of my Grandchild and the grief of my Daughter and would expect more from the "caring Profession". These people need to be trained to put themselves into others shoes instead of seeing families as nuisances.
