Families who have suffered loss invited to hospital this Sunday
The Maternity Service annual Service of Remembrance for the families and friends of babies and young children who have died during pregnancy, soon after birth, or when very young, will take place at 3pm on Sunday, 12 th October 2008.
The staff of the Maternity Service at West Middlesex extend a welcome to all those who are mourning the loss of a baby or young child.
Tonie Neville , Assistant Director of Midwifery, in the maternity unit, said: "The service gives families the opportunity to meet other people with similar experiences and talk to midwives and obstetric staff. Some families attend the service year after year, giving us hope that perhaps we are going some way to helping those affected by infant death come to terms with their loss."
The service will take place in the Multi-Faith Centre in the hospital atrium and will be followed by refreshments.
