A special Baby Loss Service of Remembrance will take place at St Thomas’ Church in Douglas on Tuesday 14 October 2025, beginning at 7pm.
Organised by Manx Care, this heartfelt service offers a quiet and reflective space for families and individuals to remember the babies who did not grow up. The event will include music, poem readings, a candle-lighting ceremony, and moments of quiet reflection.
This years’ service replaces the annual STAR (Still Treasured, Always Remembered) event traditionally held in January, and is open to any member of the public who wishes to attend.
Manx Care’s Bereavement Lead Midwife, Dianne Rubery, said:
‘This service is a gentle opportunity for anyone affected by baby loss to come together, reflect, and honour their little ones in a peaceful setting. We hope it brings comfort and connection to those who need it.’
