Sands Memory Boxes provide a place for parents to keep memories of their precious baby. Amongst other things they contain a hand-knitted or crocheted blanket, two identical teddies and other keepsakes.

If your baby has died and you have never received a Sands memory box, you can order one here.

The death of a baby around the time of birth is a major bereavement that can have life-long effects on parents and their families. So it’s not surprising that we are often contacted by parents whose baby died many years ago, and who now want to talk about what happened and how they feel.

A beautiful story book aimed at younger children to help explore issues and questions when a baby dies. This may be particularly helpful for siblings, cousins and friends and is a beautifully illustrated account of two young children talking about what might have happened to a baby called Kitty. It provides an opportunity to explore questions and grief gently and safely.

A Star for Bobby talks directly to young children, using language and illustrations they can understand, about the death of a brother or sister, explaining why sometimes these things happen and how this may be making them feel. When Helen Keenor's baby son, Toby died shortly after birth she wanted to explain to her two year old daughter Harriet what had happened in a way a little child could understand.

An activity book for bereaved Muslim Siblings. This book helps children make sence of their experience following the dealth of a sibling, offering a way of honouring their memory, celebrating their life, and understanding the Islamic perspective of death.

The loss of a child is probably the most painful experience and it is at such times of deep sorrow and grief that people often turn to their faith. This book addresses this need from the Islamic perspective using quotes from the Quran and Ahadith.
