Portiuncula University Hospital to hold remembrance service for families bereaved by the loss of a baby or child

Portiuncula University Hospital is inviting parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby or child to attend a remembrance service on Monday next, February 9th.

The service is open to families affected by bereavement through miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth, or the death of a baby after birth.

It will be held at 7.30 p.m. in the Hospital Chapel, followed by light refreshments, providing families with an opportunity to come together in a supportive environment.

Deirdre Naughton, Director of Midwifery at Portiuncula University Hospital said that the service offers a meaningful space for reflection and healing.

“This service offers parents who have experienced bereavement an opportunity to reflect on their grief journey through symbol, music and prayer. Parents who have attended this service in the past have shared with us that they have found it to be a time of healing and comfort.”

The hospital warmly welcomes all families who wish to attend and remember their loved ones in a compassionate and respectful setting.
