Baby Loss Retreat

Who we are:

We aim to relieve the emotional and psychological suffering to parents who have suffered a bereavement following stillborn, miscarriage and neonatal death by providing respite to families.

What we offer:

We provide some time away to a quiet and peaceful environment to help couples and family talk about their experience. The pain of a loss can be overwhelming at times and if we can ease this in some kind of way by sending the families on the retreat, talking about grief has a number of benefits it helps confront and deal with the feelings also help you feel a sense of peace.
