Torrevieja University Hospital has received a chilly cot donated by the Little Stars Grief Association, which is an essential instrument for providing respectful care in cases of perinatal death. This donation enables families to spend more time saying farewell to their babies in a quiet, compassionate, and intimate setting.
The chilly cot keeps neonates warm for a few hours after death, which aids in the farewell process and helps them assimilate the loss more consciously. Institutions that provide thorough and compassionate care are increasingly offering this resource.

This new resource is part of the hospital’s ongoing programme to assist families experiencing perinatal bereavement. The interdisciplinary team, which includes obstetrics, paediatrics, nursing, psychiatry, and social work professionals, provides targeted, close, and respectful care during this challenging period.
Torrevieja University Hospital also promotes training programmes for healthcare personnel in order to improve their understanding of perinatal sorrow and the quality of emotional treatment provided to families.
“The inclusion of this cold cradle is another step towards our dedication to providing sensitive, compassionate, and family-centred care. Isabel Baño, Assistant Nurse at the Torrevieja Health Department’s Women’s Care Area, stated that the purpose is to create a safe space for individuals to process their sorrow with support and respect.
The center’s administration officially congratulated the Little Stars Association for their work and reaffirmed the hospital’s commitment to offering decency, respect, and support to families at all stages of life.
The Pequeñas Estrellas Grief Association’s president, Inma Ortigosa Huertas, was pleased with the donation. “As an association, we are very satisfied with the donation, thanks to the contribution of the La Caixa Foundation.” “The Cradle of Hugs gives time to families who are going through this difficult time, so they can say goodbye to their son or daughter in the best possible conditions.” “As an association, we will continue working to achieve improvements in support for perinatal grief and to raise awareness of it,” according to her.
