Laying down


Yesterday I conducted a service of remembrance for babies who have died, whether in pregnancy or shortly after birth. Over the years I have been offering this memorial I have met many amazing families. Some of them I have accompanied through their loss and grieving. And that has been an immense privelege. Yesterday I was battling with the sense that this is the last time I will be involved in this ceremony as I shall shortly be serving elsewhere. Those mums and dads have given me so much in letting me be a part of some tangible expression of their bereavement. Its hard to move on from such generous people.
