The journey of a pregnancy is full of hopes and expectations, dreams and fantasies, which, for most people, ends in one of life's most exciting events – the birth of a healthy baby.
Sadly, every year, over 12,000 parents in the UK are grief-stricken by the tragic loss of their babies. Hundreds more suffer miscarriage of their pregnancy. This results in many parents struggling to cope with grief, trauma, depression, fear, anger, frustration and resentment.
Petals charity provides a specialised counselling service in Cambridgeshire, and parts of Suffolk and North Essex. Fundraising projects continue to be a focus for Petals with plans to initially expand this successful service across East Anglia and the Home Counties, with the intention to be operating nationally by 2018.
We welcome all contributions large and small. Please feel free to donate online, using our page on bmycharity.com.

“Counselling for individuals and couples who have lost their hopes, expectations and dreams of becoming parents is about supporting them to grieve their loss, then re-establish belief and trust in new hopes and expectations that life, and new life can continue”
