Butterfly Suite

We understand that the death of a child is one of the most heart-breaking experiences that a family will ever go through. Even though grieving is a natural response, it can be so painful and overwhelming that day-to-day living may become hard to manage. Therefore, our dedicated care team is here to give help and guidance with practical arrangements 

Jigsaw can offer a space for your child to be cared for after they have died for a period of up to seven days. 

The child will be cared for in our Butterfly Room, which is a cooled bedroom with an attached lounge for parents and family members to use. 

Each child will receive a memory box, which will allow staff to support families and create keepsakes.  

Care in the Butterfly Suite is provided by Jigsaw staff, and during that time, we will work side by side with funeral directors and families to provide personal care.

Private accommodation is available for families to stay, if required. Bereavement support and counselling can be provided if you feel it would be helpful for a period of time after your child has died. 

Talking with someone who is trained in counselling skills can help bring a new perspective or understanding. It can help you feel less confused and more confident about your personal situation.

Usually, the word “counsel” means to give advice, but therapeutic counselling is really about careful listening and reflecting. We don’t tell you how to behave or what you should or should not be doing or what to think. We allow you the space and the time to make sense of what has happened and to face the future with courage.
