How we support

We are so sorry that your baby has died. Sands is an organisation of parents who have experienced the loss of a baby. Although your loss, and every loss, is unique, we understand how devastating it is when your baby dies and provide empathy for you.
We belive that there is no right or wrong way to grieve and that grief cannot be measured or compared. As unique as your baby was so is the way you grieve and the support you need. Because some people like to talk, others take comfort from reading about others experiences, some like to chat online and others prefer to meet face to face support, we try to offer a variety of different support methods throughout New Zealand.
We offer empathy and understanding. We are not counsellors and do not give professional advice but we do offer an opportunity and environment to share experiences, to talk and to listen.
A little life
not a little loss
