Shared experiences

Very many thanks to all the parents, siblings, families and friends, who have allowed us to share their experiences on this site.

SANDS support services are open to anyone affected by the death of a baby, however long ago, whether you are a parent, family member or health professional.

For James

Surrounded by love in a meadow of green,
Our baby is with us, though no longer seen.
You’ll never face turmoil; you’ll never face strife
As your special soul has eternal life.

We may not have answers, we may not know why?
Apart from a plan which is meant from on high.
We’ll see you again, of that we are sure
As we join you in heaven when we exit life’s door.

Martin and Vicki’s son, James John, was stillborn in July 2001. They have since had a healthy baby.
