Allow grieving parents to form a support bubble after baby loss.

What the petition asks
We would like grieving parents to be given the opportunity to form a support bubble with one other household of any size in order to assist them with their grieving process.
Families with children under 1 are allowed to form a support bubble, but the rules do not apply when you come home from the hospital without your baby, arguable a more valid need for support. Allowing a support bubble would give well needed support to parents who are struggling, feeling isolated and unsure how to navigate the coming days and months.
