Annual service for those affected by babyloss to be held in Boston
A support group for people in Lincolnshire affected by the loss of a baby – whether during pregnancy, at birth, or soon after – is to hold its annual babyloss memorial service this weekend.
East Lincs Sands will hold the event at The Holy Trinity Church, in Spilsby Road, Boston, on Sunday (February 1).
The service, the group says, is ‘a chance to remember the babies gone too soon, say their names and light a candle’.
It will run for about 40 minutes. Afterwards, attendees will be able to talk to the group’s befrienders and meet other families who have experienced loss such as theirs. There will also be informative literature about Sands and what the charity can offer those in need of support.
Following on from Sunday’s service, the group will hold its first online support meeting of the year on Tuesday, February 10, at 7pm. Anyone wishing to join this Teams event, is asked to call the helpline number 07934 967990, message the East Lincs Sands Facebook page or email [email protected].
In March, the group will restart its face-to-face meetings at a new venue. Boston United, it says, has kindly agreed to let the group use one of the football club’s hospitality rooms.
The meeting will take place on Thursday, March 26, starting at 7.15pm.
Anyone interested in attending is asked to contact the group via its Facebook page or on 07934 967990.
