Nuneaton's George Eliot hospital is holding a special service

It's for those who have suffered the loss of a baby or child.

George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust is welcoming anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a baby or child, during pregnancy or after birth, recently or long ago to their ‘Service of Remembrance for our Little Ones’.

The annual thanksgiving and remembrance service, which will take place on Sunday 02 February in the hospital’s Chapel at 3pm, has been a source of comfort for parents and families for over 30 years. The event provides an opportunity for people to reflect and remember in a beautiful and healing observance.

Reverend Ricarda Witcombe, Chaplaincy Team Leader said: “The Little Ones Service happens every year in the chapel and is a simple and beautiful service for anyone who has ever suffered the loss of a little one.

“During the service, to honour the brief but precious lives that have touched us often more than words can say, we will light candles and there will be some music, prayers and time to reflect.”

The event will also provide an opportunity to talk to others with similar experiences over a cup of tea after the service.
