The scheme acknowledges parents who experience the loss of a baby before 24 weeks.
A Westmeath Councillor is calling for new recognition for people who suffer pregnancy loss.
Councillor Paul Hogan has called for a Baby Loss Certificate Scheme to help parents in navigating their grief at a recent sitting of the Athlone-Moate Municipal District.
The scheme provides official recognition to parents who experience the loss of a baby during pregnancy before 24 weeks, offering an official document to acknowledge their grief, validate their loss, and help break stigma.
Councillor Paul Hogan says this scheme will provide much needed support to parents during some of their toughest days:
