Resources
Below you’ll find a range of helpful resources — from how to support a colleague after a loss to how to be there for a friend. We’ve created these with care and compassion for anyone who wants to support a loved one through the loss of a baby.
​
We understand how difficult it can be to find the right words. Our aim is to provide you with the knowledge and confidence to talk openly with your friend, colleague, or family member about their baby.
​
Please remember, there’s no right or wrong way to offer support — these are simply guides to help you navigate these deeply sensitive moments. And above all, know that we’re always here to help.

This guide helps you understand how to offer meaningful support — by acknowledging their baby, being a steady presence, and giving them space to grieve in their own way. Small gestures can have a lasting impact, and simply showing you care can mean everything.
