BabyLoss New Zealand

BabyLoss New Zealand Baby Loss NZ is a registered charity (CC32638) set up to support bereaved parents and their families/whanau/aiga - Creating Memories, Healing Hearts

Baby Loss NZ was set up in April 2008 after the need for a support group in the Manukau region was identified. We hold monthly support group meetings where parents can come together in a friendly, non judgmental space to share, listen, and acknowledge others who may have been through a similar experience to their own, coffee mornings, practical workshops, training and education for health professi

onals and baby loss awareness events. In November 2012, the Baby Loss House was officially opened by Jami-Lee Ross, MP at our VIP party also attended by Megan Alatini and the financial friends who without, we would not have been able to secure this beautiful property. Most of our members/supporters are also bereaved parents. While we do not know exactly how you are feeling, we have been in similar circumstances. We offer empathy and understanding. We are not counsellors and do not give formal advice but we do offer an opportunity and environment to share experiences, to talk and to listen. We promote awareness, understanding and support for those dealing with the death of a baby in pregnancy, birth and childhood as well as due to medical termination or other forms of reproductive loss. As we understand how important physical items are, we offer a Tangible Memory Making Service. Members of our team come to the hospital and help you to make memories that you can hold on to forever. This free service consists of hand and foot casts which are framed as well as on granite and freestanding, photos (placed on a CD) in colour, black and white and set to music in a slideshow and inkless hand/footprints. We can also help with parenting your baby e.g. bathing, dressing etc. The casts are best taken as soon as possible so we encourage you to call us while you are still in hospital and we will arrange a time to come in. Parents are more than welcome (and in fact we encourage it) to be involved in this service. For more information on other ways we support, please head to our website www.babyloss.co.nz

Free Counselling Support

We wanted to take a moment to remind our families that free counselling support is available through Baby Loss NZ and introduce one of wonderful counsellors, Kim.

Kim is in her third year of a Bachelor of Counselling and has a special passion for walking alongside whānau who have experienced pregnancy, baby or child loss. Her own experiences of grief and child loss within her whānau bring a genuine understanding and compassion to the support she offers.

Alongside her counselling work, Kim has also facilitated Hauora programmes for women, supporting wellbeing, connection and healing.

Counselling sessions with Kim are online and completely free, making them accessible to families wherever you are in New Zealand.

There is no timeline on grief, and you don't have to be newly bereaved to reach out. Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, if you feel some extra support would help, our counsellors are here to walk alongside you. You don't have to navigate grief alone. 🀍

There are some gifts that simply can't be measured.

To our amazing knitters, sewers, and everyone who has so generously donated their wedding dresses... thank you. πŸ’œ

Every tiny gown, blanket, bonnet, wrap, and keepsake is lovingly made by hands that will likely never meet the families who receive them. Yet your kindness becomes part of some of the most precious memories those families will ever have.

Your donated wedding dresses are lovingly transformed into beautiful angel gowns, allowing a dress that once celebrated the beginning of one family's journey to become a treasured gift for another during their hardest goodbye.

The beautiful items in these photos are the recent donations we've received, and we are so incredibly grateful for every stitch, every hour, and every act of kindness. The sewer/knitter/gown donated by is in the description of each picture.

From all of us at Baby Loss NZ, and from the thousands of families whose babies have been wrapped in your love... thank you. We couldn't do what we do without you. πŸ’œπŸ¦‹
