Baby Loss Awareness Week at Amos: Our Community Wrapped in Love
This Baby Loss Awareness Week (9th–15th October), our firm, Amos Estates have been working with Holly & Lee Gisby to ensure the shopping areas of Hockley, Thundersley and Rayleigh are adorned with hundreds of lovingly knitted hearts placed on local railings, a moving tribute to babies gone too soon.
The colourful Baby Loss Awareness Week display is more than just beautiful; it's powerful. Each heart symbolises a life lost, a family grieving, and a community standing in quiet solidarity. It’s a heartfelt reminder that baby loss affects many, often in silence, and deserves recognition and support.
These hearts also serve to raise awareness for a deeply personal cause. Local couple Holly and Lee Gisby are fundraising through Abigail’s Charity, where they aim to provide more cold cots to hospitals, giving bereaved families precious time to say goodbye.
Cold cots offer dignity in the most heartbreaking of circumstances. By supporting the Gisby family’s campaign, we can help ensure other families are given the gift of time, love, and memory.
As you pass by the railings this week, take a moment to reflect. Let’s break the silence around baby loss, honour tiny lives, and support a cause that brings comfort when it’s needed most.
