SANDS stillbirth and neonatal death charity

Supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby and promoting research to reduce the loss of babies lives

Sands is an organisation which offers support to grieving families trying to deal with the death of a baby during pregnancy or after birth. The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted.

It can be hard to take in information, to make decisions or to imagine how you are going to cope. At Sands there are people who understand what it's like because many of them have been through this experience themselves, so they are best qualified to offer support and information when it is needed.

The death of a baby can happen to any one of us. What brought the people at Sands together is the common experience of this painful loss.
