Empty Arms Perinatal Loss Support Services is a comprehensive bereavement support program serving Saskatchewan families who come to the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital and are touched by pregnancy loss and/or infant death. Our mission is to help families of pregnancy loss and infant death to build a strong foundation, ensuring the family’s journey is healthy, complete, and with as few regrets as possible.

We are both proud and humbled to provide the following services to the families we serve, all of which are fee of charge: birth and bereavement companion support by certified individuals; professional remembrance photography; supported use of a CuddleCot, in-hospital or at home; memory making options and guidance, and mementos; collecting/providing keepsakes; postpartum lactation information; postpartum information and support; several monthly in-person support groups; online support groups; peer mentor networking; resource lists/lending library for family members and friends; and more.

In order to continue providing all of these invaluable services, Empty Arms is holding our annual gala, A Night to Remember. Tickets to the event are $100, which include a $50 donation receipt, your entry into the historic Boom Town at the WDM, a delicious plated meal, the chance to win one of our fabulous door prizes, and access to our amazing silent auction tables. Also back by popular demand this year is our dessert auction!

Although 100% of the proceeds will be going towards families experiencing pregnancy and infant loss, the event itself will be a beautiful, uplifting, and fun-filled evening.
