Portiuncula University Hospital is inviting parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby or child to attend a remembrance service, which will take place next Monday.

The service is open to families affected by bereavement through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or the death of a baby after birth.

It will be held at 7:30pm in the Hospital Chapel on Monday, February 9, followed by light refreshments, providing families with an opportunity to come together in a supportive environment.

Deirdre Naughton, Director of Midwifery at Portiuncula University Hospital said the service offers a meaningful space for reflection and healing.

“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 hospital warmly welcomes all families who wish to attend and remember their loved ones in a compassionate and respectful setting.
