Service of Remembrance, Consolation and Hope | Friday 4 December, 7pm | North Sydney and online 💜

For more than 25 years, the Service of Remembrance, Consolation and Hope has been a deeply meaningful tradition for families grieving the loss of a baby or child.

Stillbirth Foundation Australia, together with Red Nose Grief and Loss, are honoured to host this cherished tradition together, creating a special space for families to pause, remember and honour their precious children, while finding comfort and connection with others who understand the deep and lasting impact of loss.

We warmly invite families who have experienced the loss of a pregnancy, stillbirth, or the death of a baby or child to join us. Extended family members and friends are also very welcome.

Together, we hold space for every family, every story and every precious child who will always be remembered.

Each day, Stillbirth Foundation Australia honours all the precious babies born still and supports research to reduce the incidence and impact of stillbirth across Australia.

October marks International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to honour the babies no longer with us and acknowledge the grief of families whose pregnancies ended in loss.

We hold every parent and family in our community close in our hearts, sending love, strength and unwavering support.

We are deeply thankful to those who have shared their stories and spoken their babies’ names. Your babies are remembered and cherished, always.

If you feel called to share your story in honour of your baby, you can do so here: https://stillbirthfoundation.org.au/share-your-story/ or via the link in our bio.

"I knock on the door, wait for a faint reply, and slowly walk into the birthing suite. The golden morning sun frames the family. Amelia is resting in the maternity bed, her partner Benjamin in the green recliner next to her, and a cot between them. I walk over and see the name placard. Matthew.

‘Welcome to your beautiful baby boy Matthew.’ I say.

We are taught to acknowledge the birth of every child, including those who are stillborn. Start by saying their name. By recognising the reality of their existence and their family’s grief.

‘I’m so sorry for your loss.’

Baby Matthew was born sleeping. I bow my head, giving him respect. Tiny, he lays tucked under a cream blanket with a matching knitted beanie, crocheted and donated by a hospital volunteer. His eyes are closed. The cot is powered to keep him cold."

Heartfelt words shared by healthcare worker, Dr Violet Kieu.

Thank you, Violet, for all you do and your continued support and dedication to our community. Your strength and kindness make a difference. 💜 Beautiful Matthew is forever loved and cherished.
