Portiuncula Hospital is holding a memorial service in February for parents and families who have suffered bereavement.
The remembrance service is meant for all who have experienced bereavement through the death of a child or who have lost a baby through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or after birth.
Deirdre Naughton, Director of Midwifery at the hospital said, “This service offers parents who have experienced bereavement an opportunity to reflect on their grief journey through symbol, music and prayer.”
“Parents who have attended this service in the past have shared with us that they have found it to be a time of healing and comfort.”
The service will take place at 7.30pm on Monday, February 12 in the hospital Chapel and families are welcome to join other families for light refreshments afterwards.
