After the tragic loss of our baby boy Zach, who was stillborn at 41 weeks, we somehow managed to find the strength to reach out. The Baby Loss Retreat gave myself and my wife Laura the support we sorely needed.

They listened to our experience, understood our grief, and provided invaluable counselling.

Personally, I struggled to accept what had happened. That my son Zach had died. I was angry and could feel myself closing up inside. I could not see any further forward than the moment we were told there was no heartbeat.

I thought I was trapped there in my mind and couldn't get out. A part of me even wanted to stay there in the fear I forgot or lost those memories we made on the days after Zach's death.

Through the counselling provided by Baby Loss Retreat, I am able to find the strength to get through each day. That's why raising money for the Baby Loss Retreat means a lot to me. They supported me in a way that allowed me to accept, look ahead, and find ways to keep remembering Zach.
