After the death of a much longed-for baby or child, thinking about what to do next can feel completely overwhelming. Whether your baby or child died at home or in a hospital, or hospice, you do have options. Every parent reacts differently and how each decides to say goodbye to their baby or child will vary. There is no right or wrong way - it is a very personal decision. Knowing that you have choices will hopefully help you to feel that any decisions made, or arrangements planned were the right ones for you and for your baby or child. Most UK hospitals and hospices now have special cots (also called ‘cuddle cots’ or ‘cold cots’), or special mattresses, which keep the baby or child’s body cool, enabling parents to spend longer with their baby or child.
