We are often contacted by bereaved parents and families to say how much reading the thoughts and feelings of others has helped them, so we are incredibly grateful to you for considering sharing your personal experience with us.

Thank you for wanting to share your experiences to help others and taking the time to complete this short form.

Please share with us as much or as little as you wish to right now, about what happened to you and your precious baby or babies. We understand how important it is for bereaved parents and families to talk about their babies, say their names, and share photos so that their much-loved babies are never forgotten, but please do only share at this point what feels right for you. 

We understand that this may be the first time you have shared your personal experience in this way, and whilst writing things down you may find this triggering.  If you want to reach out for support, we  are here for you if need to talk or get support in another way.

If you would like to share photos or other memories of your baby, such as a poem, we would love to receive these.

Unfortunately our website doesn't allow you to attach these to your story, so please send them to RealLifeStories@sands.org.uk and label your photos with your and/or your baby or babies' names.

If you would like to know more about how we will use your story and how it will make a difference please click here
