Irish Stillbirth And Neonatal Death Society
Each year in Ireland approximately
500 babies die around the time of birth. As a result a large number of
parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents and friends are bereaved.
ISANDS provides information, services and
support based on other bereaved parents and families experiences which
can be different but there is a common link that is recognised - the
loss of a son or daughter, brother or sister.
ISANDS produce and distribute a booklet
called A Little Lifetime to all maternity hospitals
and units in the country. This booklet has helpful and important
information to help and support parents at the time they are told the
sad news that their baby has died or is expected to die shortly after
birth.
Each year in September ISANDS holds a
commemorative ceremony in Wexford.
