Christmas can be a time of joy and celebration, but for those who have experienced miscarriage or pregnancy loss, it can also bring difficult emotions, memories and reminders of what might have been.
At MISS, we understand that everyone's experience of loss is different. For some, the festive season may be particularly challenging, while others may find comfort in remembering and honouring their babies during this time.
We want to ensure that the support we offer over Christmas reflects the needs of the people and families we are here to help.
That's why we're inviting you to have your say through our ChristMISS Survey.
Your Voice Matters
We believe the most meaningful support is shaped by those who have experienced pregnancy loss themselves.
Our short survey allows you to tell us what would make a difference to you during the festive period.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on:
The types of support and activities you would find helpful over Christmas.
What you would like to see included in our Christmas support packs.
The content you would find helpful, or prefer not to see, on social media.
Any additional resources or ways we could support you during this time.
Your feedback will help us plan our festive support with care and compassion, and better understand what our community truly needs.
Be Part of Our 12 Days of Christmas
This December, we're also planning a special 12 Days of Christmas series, sharing personal experiences and highlighting the difference that compassionate support can make.
As part of the survey, we're inviting anyone who feels comfortable to share their story, reflections or how MISS has made a difference in their life.
There is absolutely no pressure to take part, and we understand that sharing personal experiences of loss is a deeply individual decision.
If you would like to be involved in our 12 Days of Christmas series, please remember to include your contact details in the survey so our team can get in touch with you.
Help Us Make Christmas a Little Gentler
Whether you've accessed our services, supported someone through pregnancy loss or have your own experiences to share, we'd be grateful to hear your thoughts.
By taking a few moments to complete our survey, you're helping us create thoughtful, meaningful support for those who may need it most this Christmas.

Thank you for helping us shape a compassionate and supportive Christmas for our community.
Because no one should have to navigate pregnancy loss alone, at Christmas or at any other time of year.
If you need support, our team is here to listen. You can contact us at advice@miss-support.org.uk.
