Hello and welcome to the Sue Ryder Online Community,

I’m so sorry to hear that both your son and your baby daughter passed away - I can’t imagine how terrible that must be.

This site is a place to write honestly about how you are feeling and get support from others who have lost loved ones. For example, you may wish to read and reply to this post from Anna, who also lost a baby shortly after birth: https://support.sueryder.org/community/coping-death-loved-one/still-numb-and-living-haze

There are also some other organisations that offer specialist support to people who have lost a child - you may find it helpful to contact some of these as well:

  • The Compassionate Friends - offers support after the loss of a child of any age, with a telephone helpline (
    0345 123 2304), local support and online support.

  • The Compassionate Friends supports families after the loss of a child of any age with a telephone helpline (0800 02 888 40), telephone counselling and face-to-face support in some parts of the country.
