Grief Preference Cards - Ready to Print

What These Cards Are

These cards are designed to help grieving families communicate their needs during medical, dental, or other appointments—without having to explain their loss out loud.

After a loss, routine appointments can be unexpectedly difficult for grieving families—these cards help ease that burden.

How Families Can Use These Cards

• Write your baby’s name on the card, if desired
• Check the boxes that feel right for you
• Bring the card to appointments and share it with front-desk staff or your provider
• You may print as many copies as you’d like

For Clinics & Care Teams

• These cards support trauma-informed, compassionate care for patients who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.
• Clinics are welcome to download, print, and offer these cards to patients as part of their bereavement or patient-support resources.

Document includes instructions and two versions of the cards to print double-sided (one with guide lines, one without). There are 20 cards printed per page.
