Today for Baby Loss Awareness Week, we are launching our new booklet “A memoir of life after loss in singleton pregnancy”. The booklet contains 10 stories where bereaved parents share their experiences of life after loss of their precious baby. See: https://t.co/zaIeWTE8AZ.

If you are a bereaved Mom, you may feel particularly sad in the lead up to Mother’s Day this Sunday, as you miss your baby who has died. We have created two beautiful, printable Mother’s Day cards for you to use as a way of remembering your baby - https://t.co/WivLQmRonl.

In Ireland, the Labour Party’s new Bill seeks to provide an entitlement to leave of up to 20 days for women who have had a miscarriage.
To fast track this bill through the Irish Government, please sign Labour’s petition at https://t.co/CvCIgVfChb and share it with a friend.

We have produced a bereavement checklist of things for bereaved parents and their families to think about if their baby has died or is going to die - https://t.co/s0s90he0z6. The checklist also includes some suggestions on twin(s) or triplet(s) loss.

We have produced a new suite of Certificates of Birth some of which are specifically for twins and triplets - see https://t.co/s0s90he0z6. We hope that these certificates will provide families with some comfort and a precious keepsake. #babyloss #lossinamultiplepregnancy

As we begin to think about Father’s Day, we know that it can be a hard day for Dad’s who have lost their baby. So, in partnership @DuckBlue1, we have produced two beautiful Father’s Day cards, which acknowledge a Dad’s loss of their child. https://t.co/n4xjK60aFN

Thank you so much to @LordMayorDublin @AlisonGilliland and @ExpGlasnevin for working together to make this decision. It will lessen the financial burden of baby loss of many bereaved parents. Hopefully more county councils and cemeteries will make a similar decision #babyloss

[Lord Mayor of Dublin @LordMayorDublin]

Following discussions I initiated last year with Glasnevin Trust on waiving the fee for baby/infant burial in their Angel Plot I'm delighted the Board has agreed. I appreciate and commend this decision, as do all parents. Thank you!
