We have launched a new film inspired by the experiences of our Sands volunteers, supporters, helpline users, and bereaved families to raise awareness and show the lifechanging impact of baby loss.
The film tells the story of one family struggling to cope with the death of their baby as Christmas draws nearer, and the friends who find ways to show that they care, are there for them in their grief, and that their baby will always be remembered as part of their lives together.
It's not an easy watch, because pregnancy and baby loss isn't easy. It's devastating and heartbreaking and lifechanging. But that's exactly why Sands exists: so that no one faces that devastation alone. Listening, and supporting and walking alongside families for as long as they need.
When we speak up about baby loss, when we call for change together, and when we support each other, we save lives. For Babies. For Families. Everywhere.
Find out more about the making of this film in our Baby Loss at Christmas blog post which was written by Carolyn Bray, bereaved mum and Assistant Director of Income and Support Engagement at Sands.
