When your baby dies you are suddenly faced with having to make decisions you never expected to have to make. We are here to offer you support and help right now, and in the weeks and months ahead.  Support services include: 

Support and advice:

• There are choices you can make about what happens to your baby and to you in the early hours and days after your baby’s death. These are very personal decisions but we can suggest what possibilities there are and tell you what other parents have chosen to do.

• There are some things that you may have to do, including registering your baby’s death and deciding about a funeral and post mortem. We can help you with information about what options there are and where to go for more help.

• You may want to talk to someone who can listen to how you feel or can help you think through what you want to do. You may find it helpful to read about other people’s experiences and the different choices they made.

Support meetings

Féileacáin support meetings are open to all parents affected by the death of a baby.  Our meetings are informal; they are simply a place where you can come and meet others on the same journey as you. Visit this page for details about in person and online support meetings
