    Story

    In memory of Liam.
    Nothing can prepare you for the loss of your child.
    On June 23rd 1993, my world fell apart when we sadly received the heart-breaking news that Liam had passed away in my womb. During this devastating time however, the one thing that will always stay with me is the phenomenal support and heartfelt sympathy of DC Lavin and all of the midwives at Ashington Hospital.

    Until recently, parents bereaved through still birth or neonatal death had little time to spend with their baby before the funeral. This has now changed as specially designed “cuddle cots” are now available , giving parents an opportunity to bond with their child before they say their final goodbye.
    The Cuddle cot offers parents additional time to come to terms with the death of a baby. It is clearly an incredibly difficult time for parents and bereaved parents should be given the option of spending time with their baby. Providing families time through the use of the CuddleCot is encouraged by midwives, bereavement practitioners, still birth/neonatal charities, and academics. Time allows the family to form an important bond with their baby; whether changing a nappy, dressing the baby, taking photographs or simply just staying close for some precious moments, allowing memories to be created. This unquestionably helps families in dealing with their loss.

    My goal, in memory of my son Liam, is to try and help local families to be given extended time with their child as they prepare to say goodbye. By raising the required funds, it will enable the purchase of a Cuddle Cot for our local hospital at Cramlington.
