I lost my Daughter, Sophia Louise, on the 18th December at 23 hours old after fighting for her life with CDH- Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. This has been the hardest time of my life and petals have definitely helped me through it. I have been having counselling every 2 weeks with my amazing counsellor. It’s been so good to have someone else to talk to and open up to. I will be walking 62 miles in April to raise money for Petals, so they can then help more parents the way they have helped me.

We are Petals, the baby loss counselling charity. The specialist counselling service that we provide is life-changing for parents who have suffered the devastating loss of a pregnancy or death of a baby. We know that these tragic experiences not only result in grief but also in trauma. Our wonderful counsellors are there to help our clients navigate their grief and trauma and to guide them to a place of hope.

Supporting this challenge you will be helping us to deliver more vital counselling sessions to bereaved parents when they need us.
