<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sadly, we do lose some of our babies, and at such times this affects all members of staff. Parents often approach us when they have been told that their little one has now been termed 'terminally ill'. Each family has individual needs and every family will handle the situation differently. We can arrange for any support that you might need, such as counseling or religious support of your choice.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sometimes a family will not want their baby to pass away in a hospital environment and it is not always appropriate due to family circumstances for their baby to pass away at home because of the effect if would have on other siblings. The Coventry hospice is funded by the charity, and receives no Government funding. </span></span></p>
