Child life specialists in Fetal Health Center (FHC) provide patient and family support from prenatal diagnosis throughout their Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) hospitalization. They provide sibling support, connection to resources, and facility dog interventions. They support mothers through transition from patient to caregiver, promoting resilience, normalization, and emotional safety.

This presentation examines how healthcare ethical principles apply to the creation of end-of-life keepsakes as tangible reflections of a child's legacy. It will address common ethical dilemmas related to timing, language, equity, individualization, and program sustainability.
