You are invited to attend a very special service during Baby Loss Awareness Week 2024.
A remembrance service for people who have lost a child at any stage of pregnancy, at birth or in infancy, whether the loss is recent or 80 years ago.
A time to unite and remember
Sadly, some babies are lost during pregnancy, birth, or shortly afterward. The death of a baby is one of the most painful things that can happen to a family. You may never really get over your baby’s death. But you can move through your grief to healing. As time passes, your pain eases. You can make a place in your heart and mind for the memories of your baby. You may grieve for your baby for a long time, maybe even your whole life. There’s no right amount of time to grieve. It takes as long as it takes for you. Over time, you can find peace and become ready to think about the future.
During the service there will be an opportunity to light a candle or paint a pebble which will be blessed during the service and then will be yours to take and leave in a special place. We will be providing light refreshments too, which you are welcome to share. If you’re unable to attend the service will be live streamed via this link : Hutton Parish Facebook
Who will be there?
All are welcome regardless of the type or circumstances of loss they have experienced. The service is for women and men, and their children and extended family and friends, whether the loss be recent or historic. In addition, anyone who has been through fertility treatment or who has never been able to have children for whatever reason, are most welcome.
How will attending this service help me?
The service will give you the opportunity to stand with other people ‘who know’ the pain of losing a child and offer you a time to publicly acknowledge and remember children who have been lost. If you need to say goodbye to a baby or to grieve, or you want to come along with a friend who needs to say goodbye, please join us.
