BABYLOSS BEREAVEMENT SERVICE
CHUMS Babyloss Bereavement Service supports bereaved parents and families who have experienced the death of their baby through late miscarriage, compassionate termination, stillbirth and neonatal death.
We are so sorry to know that you may be reading this because your baby has died. We know that there can be little as devastating as the death of a child and it may seem like the end of your world. You may feel shocked, numb, angry, guilty, deeply sad or possibly completely overwhelmed. Every bereaved parent’s experience is individual, there is no one right way to think or feel.
You are not alone
Chums Babyloss Bereavement Service is here to support you in any way that we can.
We offer compassionate support for bereaved parents and families who have experienced a late miscarriage (18 weeks+), a compassionate termination, a stillbirth or a neonatal death, where your baby may have lived for minutes, hours, days or weeks.
We offer understanding, advice, guidance and bereavement support and counselling now and in the time ahead .
