The Lily Mae Foundation

The Memory Boxes are given to bereaved parents to enable them to collect and store precious memories of their baby. These boxes provide a special place for keepsakes, mementoes, and personal items, helping parents cherish and remember their baby during a difficult time.

Those affected by the loss of a baby at any stage can meet with a Bereavement Support Worker on a one-to-one basis. This individual support offers a compassionate space to discuss their feelings, receive tailored guidance, and explore coping strategies in a confidential and supportive setting.

Parents and family members come together in an informal and relaxed environment to share experiences and support each other. This welcoming space encourages open conversations, provides emotional support, and fosters a sense of community among those facing similar challenges.

We offer an opportunity for pregnant women and their partners to gain continuity of care and support throughout their pregnancy. Our programme ensures they receive consistent, personalised care from a dedicated team, addressing their individual needs and concerns.

A monthly group for bereaved parents with a rainbow baby or those who are pregnant again. This gathering provides support and a space to connect with others who share similar experiences. It offers comfort and understanding during this special yet challenging time.

In this episode, we explore how fathers cope with the devastating experience of losing a baby. Through candid conversations, we shed light on their personal struggles, coping mechanisms, and the emotional challenges they face.

Our Sibling Support Packs provide bereaved siblings with resources to understand their loss and create lasting memories of their baby brother or sister. These packs include activities and tools to support their emotional needs and honour their sibling.

The Foundation offers continuous training and support to midwives, trainee midwives, and other health and social care professionals. We provide essential resources and guidance to help them enhance their skills and deliver high-quality care.
