Baby Remembrance Service
12th September 2011
The annual baby loss services will be taking place again this autumn. The services – under the title ‘So dearly loved, so briefly known’, provide an opportunity for space and reflection to remember those babies who have died at any time from conception into the early stages of life.
Open to anyone who has been affected by the loss of a baby, the services are an opportunity to remember your baby and to meet other people who understand because they have also lost babies that they loved.
Both services are conducted by the hospital chaplains and supported by other members of staff who are available to talk to following the service.
Although they follow a broadly Christian pattern of worship, it doesn’t matter what faith people have. Everyone is welcome to attend and each year many people come along because they appreciate a safe and open place in which they can acknowledge and remember their children.
There are two services, one in Cheltenham and one in Gloucester so that people can choose which one they attend.
