Kia ora koutou, you've asked, and we've heard. We are delighted to announce that we will be commencing Pregnancy After Loss online support meetings this month. We extend our immense gratitude to Vicki Culling of Vicki Culling Associates and Sands Wellington for facilitating these.

The meetings will occur on the third Wednesday evening of each month at 7:30pm-9pm. The first meeting will occur on Wed 17th June.

This is a supportive space to kōrero, offering support to those parents who have experienced loss and are pregnant, or their partner is pregnant. Also for those who have had their baby very recently (3-4 months) and are experiencing parenting after loss.

If you would like to join us, please email our Sands NZ Secretary at [email protected] for details. Please note, to register you will need to provide your contact phone number and location in NZ.

We know experiencing pregnancy after loss can be challenging, so this is a space to talk about your feelings and how you are doing.

As today marks the first day of Winter we send warm wishes to those whose precious pēpi share a special day in the month of June. Whilst the days are getting shorter the light our babies brought to our life lives on in our hearts and in our memory. At times it can feel as though we are the only ones who remember their special days but please know our Sands whānau are a community of people who get it. We are here to share these days and moments with you so please add a comment or a photo or put up a post if you want to connect, rant or share those precious little lives with a community who understand. Kia kaha, sending love and light to those who need it 🧡💜

Today, on Termination for Medical Reason Awareness Day, we acknowledge the parents who have had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to their baby due to medical reasons.

No one should have to face this journey alone. If you or someone you know has experienced this loss, support is available. 💜🧡

The first Sunday in May each year is International Bereaved Mothers Day. This is a special day for us before Mothers Day next week.

The team at Sands Hawkes Bay would like to wish you a gentle Bereaved Mothers Day 2026 ❤️‍🩹. Today is for the mothers who carry children in their hearts instead of their arms. We see you, we feel you, we know the immense pain that this feels like. You are not alone 🫂 we are always here for anyone struggling.
Please feel free to post your beautiful angel's/angels' name/s so we can say them with you. They will never be forgotten and will always be a part of our whānau ❤️ .

A little life, not a little loss 🧡💜
