Joel's main aim is to support families through pregnancy and parenting after baby loss.  No matter how long ago you experienced your loss, at any stage of pregnancy, during labour or after birth, we will support you.  It is important to know that you are never alone.  We aim to celebrate the family as a whole and break the taboo associated with baby loss.

Every first Saturday of each month we meet for a chat and a cuppa (with a slice of cake!), 10.00-11.30am at the Golden Ball, 3 Victoria Square, Worksop, Notts, S80 1DX

The groups are relaxed, friendly and welcoming and you are not pressured to sit and talk if you don't want to.  However, we do have a wonderful peer support network and provide access to all Joel's services.  You can find out about:

• coaching
• counselling
• hypnotherapy and 1:1 support

You can also:

• borrow beautiful books from our library
• make crafts
• meet families who share the same experiences as you

Sunshine Children (baby born before loss) and Rainbow Children (baby born after loss) are welcome to come along too, as they can play, craft and meet other children who have lost a precious sibling.

Despite countless breakthroughs in medical science, we still do not understand why some pregnancies will end in tragedy. For most of us, having a child of our own is the most fulfilling experience of our lives. All of us can imagine the desperation and sadness of parents who lose a baby, and the life-shattering impact that a disabled or seriously ill child has on a family.

Genesis Research Trust raises money for the largest UK-based collection of scientists and clinicians who are researching the causes and cures for conditions that affect the health of women and babies. This Trust is uniquely based in the building where the scientists carry out their research at the Wolfson and Weston Research Institute for Family Health, on the Hammersmith Campus of Imperial College London.

Self Referrals accepted. Now based at The Crossing, Worksop aswell as Newark.

We can help you start living again so you can maybe even try for another baby or change the way you live and work, by freeing you of the thoughts and emotions that are holding you back.

Life After Miscarriage, Your Guide to Healing from Pregnancy Loss takes you through a transformational journey from the pain of loss to a place of acceptance and hope. You will discover how your loss impacts your relationships with your partner, family and friends. You will understand how it’s holding you back in your career, day-to-day life and overall happiness. You’ll recognise and understand your go-to coping strategies and learn how you can begin to support yourself with self-healing strategies so you can move forward and find joy again.

In 2015, 4,395 babies were stillborn or died shortly after birth. These figures only take into account any babies that are born after 24 weeks of pregnancy as there are no recorded figures below this gestation. In reality this figure is much higher. 

Cherished Gowns UK is a registered charity (1172482),  that provide the families of babies that are stillborn, miscarried or pass away shortly after birth with items of clothing that they are able to be dressed in for their funeral. We provide UK hospitals with 5 different sizes of Cherished Gown packs that include a gown, hat, booties, blanket and a cloth nappy. We also send gown packs directly to parents who are unable to find anything to fit their precious baby on request.

All of the items we provide have been lovingly made by volunteers from all over the country, and all of the gowns we provide are made from generously donated wedding dresses. Cherished Gowns UK was set up in October 2014 and since then we have made over 100,000 gowns from around 20,000 wedding dresses, and we have also had over 1/4 of a million items sent to us by our amazing knit and crochet volunteers. We stock 237 NHS hospitals including Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales. 

Our service is provided completely free of charge to anyone that is in the sad position of needing it.

Cherished Gowns has always worked in conjunction with SANDS and a variety of Other Support Organisations . We also liaise closely with the NHS and Maternity departments all over the UK to ensure that our Cherished Gowns Packs are of the highest possible standard.

Bereavement

The Tamba Bereavement Support Group (BSG) exists to support all parents and carers of multiples who have experienced loss whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or at any point afterwards. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that by making contact with the BSG you will find some comfort.

The group was established in 1982 in response to requests from parents who had lost a twin.  Dr Elizabeth Bryan, a founder member of the the Twins and Multiples Births Association (TAMBA), recognised the special needs of such families and started it off by producing the first leaflet of its kind on this subject. As more people contacted the group it became clear that families faced with the loss of both twins had yet another set of problems, as did parents who had suffered a cot death. 

Tamba BSG offers parent to parent support via our befriending service and via our facebook bereavement support group

If you would like a hardcopy of the booklet, or like to have further support from the group, please email the Support Services team.

Tamba now have a separate electronic booklet for parents who have suffered a loss from TTTS, if you would like a copy of this booklet please send us an email.

From all of us at Sophia - Pregnancy Loss Support, we are sorry you find yourself here after the loss of a baby. However, we are glad that you have found us. We understand how important support is at such a difficult time. The charity is run by a group of bereaved parents who have experienced the emptiness and pain associated with losing a child.

"We both found the Sophia group a huge support after leaving hospital. In those first few weeks having the online group makes you realise you are not alone and there is always someone to talk to who understands your pain."

Baby loss is rarely discussed in our current society, which leads many people to be unsure of what to say when faced with bereavement of this kind. When a baby dies at any gestation, their parents' lives are irrevocably changed. Their longed for baby will never be 'replaced' regardless of how many children they may go on to have in the future.

What most people want and need to hear is their baby's name be spoken to enable their memory to be kept alive. If you are supporting a bereaved parent, don't be afraid to talk about their loss. Help them to find a 'new normal' which includes their lost little one.

​

At Sophia - Pregnancy Loss Support, we aim to educate others about the heartbreak of losing our precious children. We want to help to break the silence surrounding the death of a baby. By raising the profile of this taboo subject, we hope to help people understand how difficult it is to deal with when your baby dies

Initially created to provide bespoke clothing to tiny babies who had died, Little Things became & Co and has now expanded its services to include support group meetings, a dedicated memorial garden within Derriford hospital, literature and any additional support to relieve the mental suffering of those suffering from bereavement or loss as the charity sees fit.

When a baby dies bereaved parents can feel very isolated. They don’t usually know anyone else who has had a similar experience. Support from family and friends can sometimes fall away soon after a baby has died.

‘Remember My Baby’ (RMB) is a UK based registered charity which offers a gift of baby remembrance photography to all UK parents experiencing the loss of their baby before, during or shortly after birth.

Mission.

Our goal is to offer a service of baby remembrance photography to all parents suffering the loss of their baby in every hospital and birth centre across the UK.

Description.

Remember My Baby is a UK  registered charity whose professional volunteer photographers visit families who may be experiencing the loss of their baby before, during or shortly after birth.

When a family loses a lifetime’s potential for capturing milestones as their child grows, we will capture a precious baby with parents, siblings and extended family for free. Each family will receive a ‘free gift’ of high resolution digital images with a copyright licence to print for their own personal, non commercial use.

We are recruiting professional photographers and NHS Trusts now. If you are a skilled or professional photographer who is interested in applying to volunteer for us, please click here to find out more information about becoming a Remember My Baby volunteer Photographer.

Alternatively, if you are an NHS Trust and you would like to know more about our service and  how to introduce the service into your maternity hospital or birth centre please email us via info@remembermybaby.org.uk.

Thank you.
