Kerry parents who've lost a baby either through miscarriage, stillbirth or other causes, are being invited to take part in a number of events to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Organised through the maternity services at University Hospital Kerry, the main event will be the virtual Remembrance Service, which will be uploaded on social media from tomorrow.
