Remember Our Child

What we do? 

 

Remember Our Child provides grieving parents, whose child has died, with a link between relevant

organisations which provide bereavement support.

 

·       Information

We provide information about the range of support groups available throughout Northern Ireland.

·        Raising Awareness

We bring the issues of child loss to the attention of health and social care professionals.

 

·        Remembering

We give parents the opportunity to acknowledge the existence of their child and the depth of their loss.

 

 
 

How can we remember?

·        Books of Remembrance

 

The names of the children who have died are inscribed in the Books of Remembrance as a lasting memorial.

 

The Books of Remembrance are kept in St. Anne’s Cathedral, Belfast. Those for the Foyle Area are kept in St.Eugene’s Cathedral or St. Columb's Cathedral, in Derry, on alternative years.

 

Parents can arrange to have their child's name inscribed in any of the Books of Remembrance by contacting the Remember Our Child Office.

·        Services of Remembrance

 

Two Services of Remembrance are held each year, one in Belfast and one in Derry. Families who have entered names in the Books of Remembrance are invited to the services. Other bereaved families are also welcome to attend.

 

·        Garden of Remembrance

 

A memorial stone has been placed in the Garden in Ballyoan Cemetery, Derry, where people can come to reflect and remember these special children.
