A Child Of Mine - Supporting Bereaved Parents

Call Directions Website

A Child Of Mine - Supporting Bereaved Parents A Child Of Mine is a registered charity number 1152159, supporting parents after the death of a child and so A Child Of Mine was born.

A Child Of Mine was set up after the death of our own son Lewis, to Cancer in 2010. After Lewis' death we were made aware of the many gaps that existed in bereavement care. Like, many who have experienced a challenging journey and want to to give something back, we were certainly no different. A Child Of Mine's website offers a complete online resource for anyone affected by the death of a child, regardless of their age or circumstance. We provide practical information, guidance and support from people who really DO understand. We signpost families to the most suitable support for them locally and we also work with the UK's leading healthcare professionals to improve the care they give to parents after their child has died. We are working on many new projects for 2023 and beyond, which will include the development of more direct services for parents and to provide financial assistance for families within Staffordshire. If we can help you in any way, please contact us directly at [email protected], through our website, www.achildofmine.co.uk or, message us through this page.

Wow! Our friends and wonderful team at the Craft Community Hub. in Cheadle Staffordshire, have organised a Cake Sale to raise funds towards our vital bereavement support for parents and families that have been through the most unimaginable loss, when a child or baby has died.

This is more than just fundraising, this is building awareness of our cause. It helps us to ensure any bereaved family knows exactly how and where to find support during the darkest days.

So come along and grab a slice and a cuppa and shine a light for bereaved parents and their families.

From everyone at A Child of Mine, thank you 💜

🩷Today marks the start of Baby Loss Awareness Week💙

We cannot think of a better way to start it than with a message from our inspirational and dedicated volunteers who have been working hard alongside Stafford Borough Council, Staffordshire County Council, The Stafford Building Society and StaffordChurches.uk to provide safe places for bereaved parents and families to reflect and remember.

Yesterday the team met up to set up a ribbon display at the Market Square in Stafford. Ribbons are available there for any one to use to remember and honour a precious life taken far too soon.....

'The display in Stafford has been created for the first time for every parent and family who has been touched by baby loss, at any stage. Please remember that you are not alone and it is OK to talk about your baby. This display is for you to take some time to reflect and encourage conversations of support, whether it be reaching out to ask for it, or offering it to those who need it.

Be kind to yourself throughout this week, and always'

Additionally a quiet space inside the Stafford Building Society has been made available for anyone to write messages of love and remembrance to post into the 'Memory Post Box' located at the ribbon display.

Please keep an eye out for up and coming events and further acknowledgements over the next week.

From everyone at A Child of Mine, we wish you a peaceful and gentle week 💜

Last week A Crochet of Mine went on tour to Cheadle, Staffordshire to visit the Craft Community Hub. Over the last few months the group has received so much support from the team at the hub, they just had to give them a visit. They were welcomed with plenty of cake, tea, coffee and surplus expert advice to help them work on their current projects and enhance their skills.

If you would like to become part of this enthusiastic and positive crochet and knitting team please get in touch. Their next meeting is on Monday the 12th October back, on their home turf in Stafford, at the A Child of Mine Family room. They would love to welcome new enthusiastic members to their team to work on various projects to support bereaved families after the unimaginable loss of a child, adult child, baby or pregnancy.

Finally we would like to send a huge thanks to the team at the Craft Community Hub for their hospitality and continued support 💜
