Providing the best possible bereavement care is always challenging. This article reflects on the care of twins who died separately on the neonatal unit during a time that was complicated not only by working in a half-completed new build, but also the pandemic of COVID-19. Whilst the national social distancing measures and policies we have had to put in place due to COVID-19 are essential, this has caused a massive strain on family support with restricted visiting leading to sadness to both families and staff. Amidst all this, the death of a baby remains a critical time for families which will affect them forever; working around all the new procedures and adapting our normal care is paramount to provide a positive experience in the current circumstances.
