The death of a baby is not a rare event. It can happen to anyone.

Every year, thousands of people in the UK are affected by the death of a baby or experience pregnancy loss.

A collaboration between more than 60 charities across the UK, Baby Loss Awareness Week is held from 9 to 15 October to raise awareness about the key issues affecting those who have experienced pregnancy loss or baby death in the UK.

Throughout the week bereaved parents, their families and friends, unite with each other and others across the world to commemorate the lives of babies who died during pregnancy, at or soon after birth and in infancy.

Now in its 16th year, Baby Loss Awareness Week calls for tangible improvements in research, care, and policy around bereavement support and highlights bereavement support and services available for anyone affected by the death of a baby at any stage.

At Southwell Acupuncture Clinic I have treated many couples during and after losing a baby at whatever stage this can be very distressing. Every person has a different coping strategy and I am here to work through the stages of grief and pain with each patient finding a way to get to the other side and discover a way to move forward. Traditional Five Element Acupuncture treats each person differently as a whole and to their needs. We are all different and respond to situations in our own way each journey.
