A support group for South African parents bereaved by miscarriage, stillbirth or neo-natal death.

If you are reading this page, then the likelihood is that your world has fallen apart, the carpet has been ripped from under your feet, and your life has been turned upside-down and inside-out by the loss of your precious baby. We are so sorry that you are here, but know that you are very welcome and we greet you with arms open wide, shoulders ready to be cried upon, and hearts ready to weep with you.

While we are not (nor do we claim to be) professional counsellors, we hope to surround you with the love, support and information you need at this time.

Please feel free to contact us - we would love to hear from you.
