Wrexham Children's Ward to hold special service for families touched by loss

12/11/2024

Families who have experienced the loss of a child are invited to Wrexham Maelor’s annual Brightly Shining Stars Service.

The annual service, which first took place in 2006, is an opportunity to collectively remember and celebrate the lives of children, and for families to meet others who have been through similar experiences, as well as see hospital staff from the ward. 

The Brightly Shinning Stars Service will be held on Sunday November 17th at 2pm, at Wrexham Maelor Hospital Chapel, and is open to all families that have lost a child at the hospital’s Children’s Ward, Accident and Emergency Department or at home with the support of the community teams. 

Rebecca Morris, Wrexham Maelor’s Children’s Ward Manager, said: “In the past many families have joined us for this service and it would be lovely to see both these familiar faces again and to welcome some new faces as well.  

“The families and staff all find comfort in that fact the children are remembered so fondly.”
