They work within the Morecambe Bay NHS Trust area, which covers South Cumbria and North Lancashire. Their aims are to preserve and protect the emotional and psychological health of parents who have suffered the loss of their baby/child through miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, or death during infancy or childhood and to advance education of the emotional and psychological effects of such a bereavement to professionals and the public through the provision of information. They do this through the provision of Remembrance Boxes and Miscarriage Care Boxes for bereaved parent, providing bereavement support through support groups, one to one support, online support forums and Creative Grief Workshops. The Remembrance Boxes contain items to encourage and support bereaved parents in making and recording as many memories as possible whilst they are in hospital, and Items to use at home to promote and encourage a healthy grieving process. Their whole purpose is to support grieving parents in feeling less isolated and alone, have connection with other bereaved parents who have walked this devastating path before them, and have access to tools to help them navigate their loss both immediate and ongoing for as long as they need.
