Today marks the beginning of BabyLoss Awareness Week 2026.
Every family affected by the loss of a child will know that everyday on the journey forward brings with it painful reminders, deep loss and sadness. The bereavement journey is forever but every time our children's name is said aloud, written in a card, on a ribbon, it brings many families comfort and feeling of joy that our loved ones are not forgotten- that no matter how long they were able to stay, they still existed, they were loved, brought joy and will always be remembered.
This week, we use the opportunity to open the eyes of many who are fortunate enough to not have experienced losing a child, to support them to better support others. To allow them to ask question and understand better what living with something missing is like.
We highlight the conversations, the time and commitment of many to push for better maternity services and fight for babies to have the highest chance of a healthy beginning and for mothers to recieve high quality care before, during and after birth.
