Our resources here at LOLA don’t allow us to offer more direct support for you right now, and we’re sorry about that. You are welcome to contact us with feedback and comments on our website, which we welcome.

Find Out More About Infertility

We at LOLA understand that, alongside your deep grief, you may also be worried about what the future holds. For some, assisted conception and concerns about infertility may also be relevant. To help you find additional support, we’ve listed some websites and other resources you may find helpful.

Find Out More About Miscarriage

We at LOLA know from experience that suffering a miscarriage is devastating. The loss of a baby in those early, precious weeks of pregnancy can be a deep and scarring loss. It can also be frightening and lonely.

We at LOLA understand that some of the parents and families who find themselves here may be facing the strain of premature birth, or neonatal care for their sick baby. To help you find additional support, we’ve listed some websites and other resources you may find helpful below.
