Bereaved families invited to attend Lancaster baby and child remembrance service
Families who have been affected by baby loss are invited to join an annual service of remembrance.
The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust (UHMBT) baby loss remembrance service in Lancaster is at 2pm on Sunday November 22, at St Thomas' Church in Marton Street..
Amy Bland, Chaplain at UHMBT, said: "Baby loss affects many families and we hope offering space to remember those babies who have died helps families in the run up to Christmas.
"Often our culture says that during the month of December we must all be happy, but for many people this is a time of mixed emotions. The baby loss service is there for families to come, however they are feeling, and have space to remember their babies."
The remembrance service will include Christian readings and prayers, but everyone is welcome to attend.
Each service will offer a peaceful setting where families can remember their baby, and find comfort in being able to share their loss with others who have gone through a similar experience.
There is also an opportunity to write your baby's name on the memory tree and to light a candle.
