Babyloss Support Leicester, Leciestershire & Rutland
About Babyloss Support Leicester, Leciestershire & Rutland
We are a team of bereaved parents trained to offer empathy, understanding and comfort to anyone affected by the death of baby in pregnancy or after birth. We understand the complex emotions bereaved families may be feeling, because we too have been through the experience of grieving for our children and trying to find a way to live with our loss. The support we offer is flexible and based on individual needs. Support is available face to face, over the phone, via email and social media as well as group support sessions. The group sessions allow bereaved parents the opportunity to meet and share with others going through loss and grief. Other groups include PALS (Pregnancy After Loss Support) and the Tots group
