A number of events are being held throughout Cardiff and Vale University Health Board to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week which falls between 9th-15th October 2019.

Baby Loss Awareness Week gives the opportunity:

• For bereaved parents, their families and friends, to unite with others across the world to commemorate their babies' lives.

• To raise awareness about pregnancy and baby loss in the UK.

• To drive improvements in bereavement care and support available for those affected.

The Teardrop Team will place a memory tree in The Sanctuary (Floor 5, B Block) at the University Hospital of Wales and in The Chapel at the University Hospital Llandough during 9th-15th October.

Bereaved parents, patients, families and staff who have experienced the loss of a baby can come and write a message to hang on the tree and light a candle in their memory.
