Registered Charity No:1172212 - Supporting families through Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Child Loss.

About us

4Louis works across the country to support anyone affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, and the death of a baby or child. We understand the pain and heartbreak that families go through and are dedicated to providing support and comfort during this difficult time. We provide memory boxes filled with keepsakes and mementos to help families create lasting memories of their loved one. We also provide useful tools, equipment, and training free of charge to hospital units, hospices, and other professionals who work with grieving families. We understand that every family's journey is unique, and we strive to improve the services given to families who have lost a baby or child. We want to make sure that no family has to go through this alone. 4Louis was founded by Louis’ family in 2009 who found that there was very little access to support and memory making following Louis been stillborn at 38weeks gestation. Since then 4Louis has grown, but parents who have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, baby or child death are still at the core of everything we do. Thanks to the hard work of our supporters we are able to ensure our services are available to a wide range of hospital trusts, hospices and any professional who may deal with miscarriages, baby or child deaths.

  • 🎄 Navigating Grief During the Holidays: Supporting Yourself and Others 🎄 For many, the holiday season represents joy, family, and togetherness. But for those grieving the loss of a baby or child, it can be a time of emotional difficulty. Grief doesn’t follow a timeline, and whether your loss is recent or years past, the festive season can heighten feelings of sadness, isolation, or worry. At 4Louis, we believe in creating space for these emotions. There’s no right way to grieve, and everyone’s journey is unique. This holiday season, prioritise your well-being and allow yourself the time and grace you need. 💛 Practical Self-Care Tips: 1️⃣ Acknowledge your emotions – Allow yourself to feel your grief without judgment. Step away when you need space. 2️⃣ Set boundaries – Decline invitations or adjust your level of participation based on your comfort. 3️⃣ Prioritise health – Grieving is physically and emotionally exhausting. Nourish your body, rest, and seek support. 🌟 Support is available: Contact Samaritans for 24/7 support. Explore resources at https://lnkd.in/dZsdMHyj or connect with organisations like Cruse Bereavement Support. As we approach this festive season, let’s remember those grieving and create spaces of kindness and understanding. By sharing this post, you may help someone feel supported.
