The contents of a memory box given to bereft parents at AdventHealth. Studies on infant mortality during the pandemic are still incomplete, but an area infant bereavement specialist says they're about the same as a typical year's losses—it's the grieving that's been more challenging. Tricia Rausch’s life is organized around unexpected loss. Her fourth child was stillborn almost 14 years ago, and not long after that, she threw herself into helping other mothers facing the same unthinkable situation. She’s a nurse at AdventHealth Shawnee Mission, formerly Shawnee Mission Medical Center, and occupies the only fulltime position in the Kansas City metro dedicated to perinatal bereavement and post-partum emotional support.
