Bereavement & Loss Support: Support if a Child or Baby Dies

When a child or baby dies you may feel overwhelmed, but there is support available to help you to cope with how you're feeling and things you might need to do.

You may find it helpful to talk to someone about your feelings. This could be:

  • a close friend or relative
  • your family doctor
  • your midwife or health visitor if your baby has died.

There are also specialist organisations and charities who can help.
