A light in the darkness- lantern walk in recognition of Baby Loss Awareness Week – by Specialist Bereavement Midwife Rachel Bond
Posted on
In 2002 families in the United States came together to raise money for UK organisations supporting bereaved parents. Through selling handmade pink and blue ribbons, they raised thousands of pounds. Their Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day inspired the UK Baby Loss Awareness Day. This was the start of something special; the day changed to a week and has become the nationally recognised Baby Loss Awareness Week. Expanding year on year and having an official alliance with SANDS, The Miscarriage Association, the Ectopic Pregnancy Trust, ARC and Babyloss.com, this week has brought us to where we are now.
