Today marks the start of **Baby Loss Awareness Week** 💜

A week to remember and honour the babies who were loved, are loved, and will never be forgotten. 💜

If you’re grieving the loss of a baby, please know you don’t have to go through it alone. If you’re feeling sad, struggling, or simply need someone to talk to, please reach out to someone you trust. Sometimes just having someone listen can make a difference.

And to those who have lost a baby or know someone who has — **say their name**. Talk about them. Remember them. Their name deserves to be heard, and we know so many parents love hearing their baby’s name spoken aloud. 🦋

Thinking of every baby who is loved and missed today, and every family carrying that love with them. 💜

**You are not alone. Your baby is not forgotten. Their name matters.** 💜

Together, we remember. Together, we heal.

A huge thank you to Co-op Funeralcare for allowing us to put our display up in their Hockley window for Baby Loss Awareness Week. 💜

We’re also so grateful to have smaller displays at their Rayleigh and Southend locations.

Baby Loss Awareness Week can be an especially difficult and emotional time for many people. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, it’s okay to find this week hard.

Please remember that you don’t have to go through it alone.

If you’re struggling or need someone to talk to, please reach out for support.

Thinking of all the babies who are loved and missed, and all the families carrying their loss. 💜💜

💜 Baby Loss Awareness Week starts this Friday. 💜

For bereaved parents it’s every day, not just a week.

For anyone who has experienced the loss of a baby, this week can bring up many different emotions. Please know that you don’t have to face them alone.

Our charity is here to support you, whether you have experienced baby loss yourself or you’re supporting someone you know and love. 💜

This video gives you a glimpse into how we provide that support, the difference we can make, and why being there matters so much.
If you need us, we’re here.

If someone you know needs support, please share this with them. 💜

A huge thank you to , family and friends who held a quiz at the weekend with the money raised being donated to our charity.

A huge thank you to Ardonagh Community Trust for your incredibly generous £5,000 donation. 💜

Your support will mean 14 families who have experienced the loss of a baby will be able to access specialised counselling. A lifeline that can be incredibly difficult to find at a time when support is needed most.

Since we launched this service, we’ve seen first-hand just how vital this specialist counselling is for parents navigating the devastating loss of their baby.

Your kind donation will help ensure more parents can access the right support, at the right time, when they need it most.

We are so grateful to everyone at Ardonagh Community Trust for helping us continue this important work and for standing alongside bereaved parents and families.

Thank you for helping us make sure no parent has to face this journey without the support they need.

Together, we remember. Together, we heal. 💜

💗 Baby Loss Display 💗

Once again this year, we will be displaying our baby loss posters across various Co-op Funeralcare locations throughout Essex, creating a special space to remember and honour the precious babies who are no longer with us.

If your baby’s name doesn’t appear on our poster and you would like to have their name added to our baby loss display, please send us a private message.

Every baby is loved, remembered and deserves to be included. We would be honoured to add their name and remember them alongside all the precious babies represented on our displays.

💜 Forever loved. Forever remembered. Never forgotten. 💜

For baby loss parents, the return to school can bring complicated emotions.

Watching other parents buy uniforms, pack lunches and walk their children through the school gates can gently remind us of the children who should be starting, moving up a year, or simply growing alongside their siblings.

There may be pride, joy and excitement for the children we have here — alongside grief, longing and the ache of the child we carry in our hearts.

All of those feelings can exist together. 💜

Be gentle with yourself this week. There is no right way to feel, and you don’t have to hide your grief to make space for someone else’s happiness.

To every baby loss parent facing the school gates with an empty space in their heart:
We see you. We remember them. We are walking beside you. 💜

No family should face losing a baby alone.

Our ‘Thinking of You’ boxes are created to offer comfort, bring moments of gentle remembrance, and honour the precious memory of every baby. They are a reminder to bereaved parents that their baby will always be remembered and that they are supported by a community that cares.

Please visit www.vilomahbabylosscharity.org.uk to find out more about our work and how you can help us continue providing these special boxes by making a donation.

Together, we remember. Together, we heal.
