Aching Arms introduces new resources for Families - SIbling Animations

29/07/2026

When a baby dies, every member of the family feels that loss.

At Aching Arms, we hear from many bereaved parents who are finding it difficult to explain to their children, what has happened, when a baby dies in their family. 

That's why we've created two new Sibling Animations.

Designed specifically for bereaved children, these gentle animations help explain baby loss in an age appropriate way, opening the door to conversations about grief, love, remembrance and feelings. 

We hope they help you with conversations you may be having with your family and that they help your children better understand their loss and to talk about their baby brother or sister. 

You don't have to go through this alone.

If your family has experienced the loss of a baby, please know that support is available.

Whether your loss was recent or many years ago, whether you're looking for help for yourself, your child, or your whole family, we're here to listen.

Call, Text or Send an Email

Telephone Support Calls can be arranged, by sending a text or WhatsApp message to 07464 508 994 or by emailing support@achingarms.co.uk.

This animation is designed for younger children:

This second animation is design for older children. 

Dandelion Bear

Created for children experiencing loss, the Aching Arms Dandelion Bear offers comfort, reassurance and connection. While our Aching Arms bears are gifted to bereaved parents, Dandelion Bear is designed especially for siblings. If one wasn’t available at your hospital, you can purchase one here.
