About: Musgrove Park Hospital / Maternity

(as the patient),

My husband and I can never express our thanks to the Midwifes and Consultants at Musgrove who have supported us over the last couple of weeks when we lost our son, who arrived early at only 21weeks. This has been without a doubt the most difficult time for us but everyone who has looked after us has showed compassion and understanding. We never felt rushed or managed in anyway. 

Although not the outcome any of us wanted we did meet our gorgeous son. No parents are ever prepared to make some of the decisions we have had to make over the last week, however, we were given us so much support and guidance since our sons passing.

A massive thank you to you all and we will not forget the amazing team you are.

Dear "Lemontop"

Sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your precious son. It is so important that we get it right for families devastated in this way and for you to find the time and energy to provide this lovely feedback, when things are so difficult, is praise indeed! I am so pleased that you felt so supported and it sounds like you were able to make some positive memories with you gorgeous son that you can carry with you and that will help you through the coming weeks, months and years.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I will ensure that it is shared with the lovely team that looked after you.

kind regards

Debra

Thank you so much Debra for taking the time to respond to us so quickly, it does mean a lot. As I have already described we can not thank the midwifery team for everything they have done for us. If there is ever anything we can do to support the funding of the Rowen Suite please please let us know.

Many thanks again

Jess
