Remembrance space

Aa baby loss remembrance space was opened in Henley to help bereaved parents.

The event was held at the d:two centre in Market Place to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week, a national campaign which ran from October 9 to 15.

It was open to anyone affected by baby loss, whether in pregnancy or after birth, no matter how long ago.

Organiser Emma Taylor, who has lost five babies in pregnancy, said: “We had a number of women come along and they all found it really useful. We sat and spoke about our lost children and had time to think about and discuss them. They said they didn’t get a chance to do that very often. It was a peaceful and gave people space to come and remember their babies.”

The event will be held again next year.
