PARENTS have the chance to remember the babies they have lost at Sands’ candlelit service.
The stillbirth and neonatal death charity has invited parents and families along to the service next month.
Chief executive of Sands Clea Harmer said: “During the festive season there is often an emphasis on children and families sharing happy times together, so the feelings of grief can seem overwhelming.
“The welcoming atmosphere of Gorse Hill Baptist Church provides the perfect setting for a candlelit service and an opportunity for bereaved parents and families to reflect and remember their babies.”
Sands is putting on the free Lights of Love service, which is organised by volunteers, on December 6.
It is open to people of any religious beliefs and there will be readings, carols and other musical performances.
The service will be held at Gorse Hill Baptist Church on Cricklade Road at 7pm
