No parent ever wants to imagine a world without their child. The loss of a baby or child is a devastation beyond words, a grief that shatters not only the present, but the hopes, dreams and potential of a future that can never be fulfilled.
Child Bereavement UK provides support for parents when a baby or child dies or is expected to die before their 26th birthday. We’re here to help you to find your own way forward – a way for you to live with your grief. It’s never about ‘moving on’. It’s about finding a way forward that keeps you connected to the child or children who’ve died.
If you'd like to speak to someone about your grief, our team of bereavement specialists are available to speak with right away, no need to book an appointment or join a wait list. You're welcome to reach our as much as you need. Support is available between 8am and 8pm, Monday to Friday (except bank holidays). Click the 'chat with us' button, text 07418 341 800, call 0800 02 888 40, email [email protected] or use our contact form.
