Hospitals hold baby and
child Christmas remembrance service
2 hospitals will be offering
support to families remembering lost loved ones in the weeks before
Christmas. The Baby and Child Remembrance Service will be held at Ormskirk
hospital and led by the Trust chaplain, the Rev Martin Abrams.
"The run up to Christmas can be a very exciting and special time, but it can
also heighten a sense of loss, grief and isolation. We hope the short,
informal service will be supportive to anyone who has suffered a child or
baby loss. The Salvation Army band will join us and we will be writing the
names of loved ones on baubles to hang from our Christmas tree." said
Martin.
The event will start with refreshments in the main Ormskirk hospital
entrance at 6.30pm, on Tuesday, 1 December 2015, before moving to one of the
hospital gardens for the service. During December, Trees of Remembrance will
also be available in the prayer and quiet rooms at both Southport and
Ormskirk hospitals. Visitors will be welcome to write the name or names of
loved ones on a decoration and hang it from the tree. |
