The Chaplains of the County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust invite parents and families living with the grief of pregnancy loss or the death of a baby to come together for a time of reflection and remembrance at upcoming memorial services.
These services provide a supportive and compassionate space for anyone touched by such a profound loss, including extended family members.
This year, the memorial services are held in conjunction with National Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th-15th October), an important time dedicated to raising awareness and providing comfort to those affected.
Saquib Ahmed, Senior Chaplain at County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, said: “These services of remembrance and thanksgiving are for anyone who has been affected by this very sad experience, including wider families and regardless of whether the loss was recent or in the more distant past.”
The special memorial services will take place on the following dates:
• Wednesday 9th October at St Cuthbert’s Church, North Road, Durham, DH1 4NH at 7:15 pm.
• Sunday 13th October at Holy Trinity, Woodland Road, Darlington, DL3 7BQ at 4pm.
These services are open to all, regardless of faith or background, and are designed to provide a moment of quiet reflection, solidarity, and remembrance for families who have experienced such a heartbreaking loss.
