This wk is an important opportunity for all family members to remember the loss of their precious babies. My thoughts are with all those affected by baby loss, baby death and pregnancy loss. We know for so many reasons that much wanted babies are not with us or couldn’t happen ❤️

The loss of a baby is a significant life event, it is a different experience for everyone, even within families. It can impact your emotions, thoughts, identity, body, relationships and daily functioning. Help is out there, please see the below resources that are available to you
