The Space' in Burston is open to everyone from 6 to 8pm
Last updated 15th Oct 2022
A counsellor from Diss has booked out a venue where those who have experienced baby loss can quietly reflect on their thoughts and feelings this Saturday evening.
'The Space' in Burston is open to everyone from 6 to 8pm and this has been arranged to coincide with the global 'wave of light'- which rounds off baby loss awareness week.
"To support anybody who feels affected by those things"
Ruth Noble told us what people can expect:
"We will have some candles lit, it will be a very peaceful space where you can come and spend some time with your thoughts. I will be here and there is another volunteer coming, if you need somebody to talk to, we are here to talk to. But we are kind of just here to create a safe space where you can be with your difficult or strong emotions.
"It's a very difficult grief to separate the pain of losing a child, with wanting to remember them, along with their life. They are a part of you, and you will always be a part of them. So, I just wanted to create something to support those people who have been through that and to support anybody who feels affected by those things".
"You never forget your babies; you are always a parent to them"
She went on to tell us a bit more about why she's put this all together:
"I am a parent and I have been touched by baby loss. It just seems that those who have been affected by the loss of a baby should have some support, to know they are not alone and know that people understand how difficult it is and they don't have to go through this alone. It lasts forever, you never forget your babies, you are always a parent to them.
"At the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week there is a global 'wave of light'. So, people will light candles or put a picture on their social media pages with a candle. There are a lot of buildings that light themselves with pink and blue lights. It's part of this wave of light of remembrance and support for each other. It's also just raising awareness that it happens, and it happens to real people who are still feeling it".
