Baby Loss Support
Free Support Following Baby Loss
A programme for parents and partners navigating grief and trauma after the loss of a baby. Funded by Remember Rufus, delivered by The Light Side.
Who is this for:
You don’t have to face this alone.
Losing a baby can turn your world upside down. Alongside the grief, many parents live with shock, flashbacks, anxiety or a numbness that is hard to put into words.
The support we are offering in partnership with Remember Rufus is for anyone who has experienced miscarriage, TFMR (termination for medical reasons), stillbirth or neonatal loss. Mothers, fathers, birthing parents and partners are all welcome. The support is on offer to anyone six weeks or more after their loss.
Making Sense of Grief and Trauma After Baby Loss Online Workshop
A two hour online workshop led by two clinical psychologists. It explores what grief and trauma can look like after baby loss and practical ways to cope. There will be gentle, optional opportunities to connect with others who understand.
Cameras are optional and you will never be asked to share your story. You can take part simply by listening.
Date: Friday 4th December
Time: 13:30 to 15:30
Where: Online via Zoom
Cost: Free
Places in the workshop are limited, so we can't guarantee everyone a space. We will be running the workshop again in Spring 2027.

Funded Trauma Therapy
For some parents, memories of what happened continue to feel stuck: intrusive images, avoiding reminders, panic or numbness that gets in the way of daily life. In partnership with Remember Rufus, we are able to fund a small number of places for individual trauma therapy, including EMDR, with our specialist clinicians.
EMDR is a well researched therapy that helps the brain process memories that feel stuck, so they can be remembered without feeling as if they are happening now. It does not take away your love or your memories of your baby.
How places are offered: places are offered on a first come, first served basis. When you register your interest, we'll arrange a brief 15 minute call to talk about what you're looking for and make sure the therapy is suitable for you right now. If it isn't the right fit, or places have been filled, we will let you know other options for support.
Each funded place includes 10-12 sessions of therapy.
