BABY LOSS CHARITY TO HOST FREE MEMORIAL EVENT IN CHESTER
Wirral baby loss charity, Elsie’s Moon, are hosting a free Wave Of Light memorial event at Mercure Abbots Well Hotel in Chester on Tuesday 15th October at 6pm. The special event, hosted during Baby Loss Awareness Week, will feature crafts, hot drinks, cake, candles and a ‘Wave Of Light’ to commemorate babies who have passed.
The special event is one of many free initiatives from Elsie’s Moon to support families who have lost babies. The charity was founded by Lindsey Devlin and her partner Chris following the loss of their daughter Elsie in 2018 — the aim was to bridge the gap and offer more support to families during this very difficult time.
Elsie’s Moon hosts one off sessions including crafts, memory making and walks to continue with their journey in breaking the silence around fertility, loss and trauma. Providing a safe place surrounded by those who ‘get it’. They fund one to one counselling sessions for families across the Wirral and local areas, as well as offering Wellbeing Classes.
Elsie’s Moon also provides different support packages to individuals, hospices, hospitals and organisations. These include Elsie’s Essential’s packs for those times families didn’t expect to be in hospital — they include all the essentials for a first night’s unprepared stay and Virtual Hug packs for families when we can’t reach out to give them a hug.
Lindsey said: “Baby Loss Awareness Week is a really important time to raise awareness and to honour our little ones who passed away. Our memorial event in Chester will be emotional but also a great opportunity for families to come together and support each other — that’s what Elsie’s Moon is about, creating a support network and community so that people don’t have to grieve alone.”
She continued: “I’m really proud of what Elsie’s Moon has achieve in Elsie’s memory and of the support we’ve given. There’s nothing that can take away the pain of losing a child, it’s indescribable, but we can certainly raise more awareness and provide more support to families during this time — whether that be counselling, wellbeing, support packs in hospital or just someone to talk to.”
