A special Baby Loss Service of Remembrance is to take place this week at St Thomas’ Church in Douglas.
Organised by Manx Care, it is hoped the service will 'offer 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.
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."
This years’ service replaces the annual STAR (Still Treasured, Always Remembered) event traditionally held in January.
Everyone is welcome at the service, which will begin at 7pm on Tuesday 14 October.
