The Lost Collective

Support for you

Life after loss is hard. Our experts are here to help you find your way.

Many people describe feeling shocked and overwhelmed by the intensity of their thoughts and emotions following loss.

We are here to help you make sense of them and to find your way forward.

Do you find yourself asking:
 
  • Is how I’m feeling ‘normal’?
  • How will I manage the weeks and months ahead?
  • How did other people cope
  • How will I ever feel ready to try for another baby?
  • How can I return to work
  • Where can I get the help that I need?
 

If so, you are not alone. And we have a range of ways that we can help.

We believe in the power of the community. It is only by hearing many people’s stories and experiences of baby loss that we can better understand how to help. There is no right or wrong way to navigate life after the loss of your baby. What matters is that you feel informed, supported and less alone.
