Bloody brilliant idea

I so wish I was in the UK to attend a service. Well done Zoe and Andy, parents of seven!

Such a good idea and i would love to attend one of these. I am gutted there isn't one in the northwest though. Miscarriage happens everywhere but these seem a tad southern centric. (I may be being v grumpy as still in process of third heartbreaking mc). X

So sorry to hear about your losses Jemima. Our local hospital had annual services in their chapel which I found helpful. Perhaps more churches or cathedrals will join in for all those of us not in easy reach of the ones already planned.

This is the first year so I reckon next few years it will really take off.

Homebird, Jemima - worth checking with your hospitals chapels as they sometimes do similar services?

Jemima, Homebird- I'm in the NW too and gutted as in yesterday's Guardian it said there would be one in Manchester, but on the Saying Goodbye website there's no sign of it. Maybe we could ask them to reconsider us?

birdofthenorth yes I read that too and was very disappointed when I went onto the website afterwards. York is closest one to Manchester and its miles away! Do you have details of how to get in touch? I do think we should ask if they would reconsider.

Website says their email address is [email protected] ...shall we?

Nothing out my way too.
Would be something I would have liked to have done. Especially as my last was a loss of a twin like theirs but mine is really unacknowledged, probably because I was still pregnant.

I lost twins but only one acknowledged like you Bronze. There were several weeks between the two losses. Tough times. Sending love.

Birdofthenorth, not in NW but NZ now. 12,000 miles doesn't make it any easier. My baby's grave is a long way away.

I'm sorry homebird.
I am blessed though as dd did survive and is lovely

what a lovely idea, when i had a mc dh and i did our own

birdofthenorth, I am going to email now! X

Thank you Bronze. Lost my twins but since had two beautiful DS's. Our losses were 11 years ago now but some days it still feels like yesterday. Glad your little girl made it.

Hello to the Northerners,
I have found out that there is a service at Manchester Cathedral in March 2013. There are details on the cathedral website.

These services still run UK wide and full details can be found at www.sayinggoodbye.org

America, France and Canada next year too!
