Families across the Bath area who have lost a baby are being invited to attend a winter remembrance service, organised by the RUH, at All Saints Church in Weston.
The event, which is being run by the Royal United Hospital’s Chaplaincy team and the stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands, will take place on Saturday 3rd December at 1.30pm.
The Reverend Narinder Tegally, RUH Lead Chaplain, said: “The service is an opportunity for families who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death to come together and remember at the beginning of a season that can be hard for so many.
“The service, for people of all faiths or none, will include readings, music, an act of remembrance for our special babies and the opportunity to place an ornament bearing your baby’s name on the church’s Christmas tree.”
There is no need to book in advance to attend the service.
If you are unable to attend the service in person, email Narinder ([email protected]) with your baby’s name so it can be written on an ornament and placed on the tree for you.
The RUH Trust offers a full bereavement and support service for grieving parents and families, including a purpose-built bereavement suite that provides the space and privacy they need at a particularly difficult time.
