Explaining Lotus Team

When families face baby loss they need specialist bereavement midwifery support. At Wythenshawe Hospital, Lotus Team provides care throughout the loss of a much loved baby whilst the family is in hospital, continuing support at home in the year to come, and in many cases will provide care again in a rainbow pregnancy. 

Grief after baby loss is navigated so individually, but what is most often true is that it takes support from a wide range of sources. Family and friends talking over tea, trusted healthcare professionals keeping in contact, networks of support groups and helplines such as SANDS provide, building an understanding culture to allow space for grief in the everyday. 

Walk or talk with us, donate or share this page, whatever help you can offer is enough :) 

We're walking 100K in March for families facing baby loss

We’ve committed to walking 100K in March for every much-loved baby sadly not here today.

Sands ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of times. They campaign for change, provide training for midwives and healthcare professionals, and support research so that fewer babies die and so that less families experience the tragedy of losing their baby. Anything you are able to donate means so much.

Thank you.
