Scone Baby Loss and Grief Support Group

An afternoon tea at the Scone Arts and Crafts Hall.

The Scone Baby Loss and Grief Support Group welcomes anyone who has experienced the grief of loss, be it:

• the loss of a baby due to miscarriage, still birth or neonatal death;
• the loss of a child due to illness or trauma, or
• the loss of a friend or family member of any age.

While the group began as a baby loss support group, it has grown to include members who have lost partners and parents. There is no time restriction on grief, so it does not matter if the loss was recent or decades ago, everyone is welcome to attend whenever they need. Everyone’s grief is different, but the common bond for members is the same.

The Group:

• meets once a month in an informal and relaxed atmosphere;
• can help people find resources they may need for grief, such as counselling;
• holds small fundraisers throughout the year and
• make support bags for the hospital to provide to parents who have lost babies, which include items they may need such as blankets and baby clothing.
