Parents Orphelins

Quebec's Association of Parents going through Infant Loss and Grief

Parents across Quebec are grieving after the death of their baby. If you are in this situation, do not be left alone.

What is Infant Loss and its Grief?

Le décès périnatal renvoie à la mort d’un bébé qui survient au cours de la grossesse, lors de l’accouchement ou dans sa première année de vie. Le deuil périnatal fait, quant à lui, référence au deuil vécu par ces parents lors du décès de leur bébé.

Parents Orphelins a choisi de représenter l’ensemble des parents qui vivent un deuil périnatal, sans égard à la période où leur bébé est décédé. En l’occurrence, nous considérons que toute personne ayant vécu une grossesse qui s’est soldée par le décès d’un bébé avant l’âge d’un an peut en effet sentir qu’elle vit un deuil périnatal.

Autrement dit, nous croyons que la peine ne se mesure pas au nombre de semaines de grossesse ou de vécu du bébé, mais à la grandeur du rêve que les parents portaient en eux et aussi au sentiment que ces gens avaient d’être déjà des parents.

The pregnancy or infant loss refers to the death of a baby that occurs during the course of the pregnancy, in baby birth or during the first year of life. The pregnancy or infant grief makes reference to the mourning lived by these parents at the time of passing of their baby.

Parents Orphelins has chosen to represent all parents who experience a pregnancy or infant loss, regardless of the period when their baby died. In this instance, Parents Orphelins believes that anyone who has lived a pregnancy which resulted in the loss of a baby, before the age of one, can indeed experience pregnancy or infant grief.

In other words, we believe that the sorrow is not measured by the number of weeks of pregnancy or the weeks of life of the baby but by the magnitude of the dream that the parents carried in them and also by the intensity of the feeling of already being parents.

Please, do not hesitate to contact us for more information. You can also download our awareness information guide (only available in French).
