Charity Registration No 299679
At this very sad and painful time, we would like to briefly introduce ourselves.
The Gloucestershire Sands group aims to offer support and friendship to all parents. Your baby may have been stillborn or died during or soon after birth. He or she might have spent some time in a special care baby unit. It may be that your baby died at an early gestation or that you had to make the difficult decision to end your pregnancy.
We offer support whenever a baby dies, however long ago that might have been. You may not want anything from us right away, we are here to help whenever you feel you need it. That may be now or in a few weeks, months or even years.
Love is to have you in my heart and hold you
there forever through all chance and earthly changes
Robert Browning
there forever through all chance and earthly changes
Robert Browning
Don’t tell me that you understand.
Don’t tell me that you know.
Don’t tell me that I will survive,
How I will surely grow.
Don’t come at me with answers
That can only come from me.
Don’t tell me how my grief will pass,
That I will soon be free.
Accept me in my ups and downs.
I need someone to share.
Just hold my hand and let me cry
And say, “My friend, I care.”
