When Lily was admitted to hospital, we had access the the Bereavement Suite. This provided us with a comforting homely suite of rooms to have all our difficult conversations with health professionals and a safe space to spend precious time with our son, as a family. We were not rushed and were cared for so sensitively. This special space allowed our whole family to meet Percy and make memories. This suite also provided vital resources, books, local support information and comforting words from other families going through our pain.

The use of this suite helped to minimise our own trauma, so we can look back at our short time with Percy with joy, love and happiness. For that, we will be forever grateful.

The WISHH Baby Loss Appeal is raising funds to enhance the bereavement facilities provided within Hull Women and Children’s Hospital.

Through the appeal, funds raised will enable WISHH to:

* Refurbish and soundproof the Bereavement Suite

* Renovate six quiet rooms

* Create a private entrance/exit to the Early Pregnancy Unit - to reduce the number of encounters families have with other expectant parents.

* Enhance the Early Pregnancy Unit

Help me to raise funds towards supporting this appeal, helping make a real difference to families when they need it most.
