DESCRIPTION:Saying Goodbye\, (part of the Mariposa Trust) are coming to Ma
 lmesbury in November with a very special Baby loss remembrance and support
  service (part of a UK and Ireland chain of events).  \n\n The Mariposa Tr
 ust’s core objective is to support people who have lost babies at any st
 age of pregnancy\, at birth\, or in infancy. It was founded in 2012\, by Z
 oe and Andy Clark-Coates\, who saw a critical lack of support for people l
 ike them\, who had gone through baby loss. With over 258\,000 babies being
  lost yearly in the UK alone\, the charity needed to be able to offer not 
 only a comprehensive package of befriending and support but also national 
 baby loss remembrance services (called Saying Goodbye Services)\, for peop
 le to join together and remember the children they had lost. \n\n12 years 
 on\, over 200 services have taken place at Cathedrals and Minsters across 
 the UK\, US\, and France\, and 2024 will see 25 services across England\, 
 Wales\, Ireland\, France and the US. \n\n On the 9th November at 4pm\, in 
 Malmesbury Abbey\, we will be hosting one of our Saying Goodbye Services a
 nd as this is the most local service to you this year we wanted to share t
 his information with you.\n\nSo who is the service for?\n\nAnyone who has 
 either personally lost a baby at any stage of pregnancy\, at birth\, or in
  early years\, or who has been affected by family members' or friends' los
 s.  Whether the loss was recent or 80 years ago\, everyone is welcome to a
 ttend. We have also extended the services\, and gladly welcome anyone who 
 is grieving the fact that they haven't had children. This may be due to ci
 rcumstance\, infertility\, or for other reasons - but all are welcome. Bab
 ies and children are also invited to come with their families\, as the Say
 ing Goodbye service is truly a family event for all.\n\nWe know that as 1 
 in 4 women suffer miscarriage and baby loss\, you will have contact with a
  significant number of people who have either personally suffered baby los
 s\, or who have a partner or family member that has\, so we wanted to ask 
 if you would help us in promoting the service.\n\n To read more on the cha
 rity\, please see the Saying Goodbye website\, which you can find at: www.
