Dumfries and Galloway Sands

Supporting anyone in Dumfries and Galloway affected by the death of a baby and promoting research to reduce the loss of babies' lives.

The death of a baby is a devastating experience. The effects of grief can be overwhelming and parents, their families and friends can be left feeling dazed, disorientated, isolated and exhausted. It can be hard to take in information, to make decisions or to imagine how you are going to cope.

Dumfries and Galloway Sands is a voluntary group of parents who have all experienced the death of a baby, either during pregnancy or soon after the birth. Our experiences vary widely but we all share the common experience of grieving for our children and trying to find a way to live with our loss. We are not a professional health team or trained counsellors, just parents who know how devastating the death of a baby can be.

This Facebook page is used to raise awareness, it is not a manned 24/7 so if you require support then please contact us through our dedicated mobile number (07864 709228) or email contact@dg-sands.org and one of our befrienders will provide support.
