Visit our main Facebook Group page for everyone.

Our main page is for everyone, with news, events and general chat.

We then have the first of two secret pages so no matter what you post you can be sure that it is a safe environment and no one outside the group will see.

“The Whisper Page”
This is a secret page where Parents can talk to others that share this common ground. On there you can post pictures, poems, music and above all else make friends, however the only way to join this very private page is through our admin page which is called Cher Whisp. so send a friends request, then post that you would like to join the Whisper Page and we will do the rest. (We do not wish to offend anyone but we may ask a few details of your loss to ensure other Parents/Families privacy, we hope you will understand the need for this)

'Grandparent's Whispers'

This page is strictly for Grandparent's where they can talk and post about the loss of their Granchild in privacy and without fear of upsetting their child with their thoughts and feelings.

If you are a grandparent and would like to join this group all you need to do is join the main Cherished Whispers Page and post that you would like to join and a member of our team will be happy to help.

 

Cherished Whispers are always looking at how to improve our memory boxes and over the years there has been some subtle changes here and there but we think that working with Heart in their Hands is going to provide our parents with that extra special link with their Baby/Babies so in January 2019 we are introducing what we think is a beautiful addition.

Here are a few words from Parents who use the Whisper Page:

From a Dad

When people mention super heroes you automatically think batman, superman, wonder woman & such like characters. Personally I think about all the people that help families like mine deal with the loss of their children, even when it brings back painful memories of their own experiences. Cherished Whispers is full to the brim with heroes. I am forever grateful to Cherished Whispers as if it wasn't for them we would have left that hospital with more regrets than we already had. Thank you Cheryl and the team, you are one in a million. X

 

 From a few Mum's

Cherished Whispers was a big help in helping me grieve for our first son. Everyone within the Group understands what you are going through, it’s like a very special family. Someone is ALWAYS there to listen and have done an amazing job in setting up Cherished Whispers.

It will be a year in March 2013 since we lost our angel Drew and without all of you it would have been a very very hard place to be. As you send your love to everyone that comes on here and we all know how each other feels. I think of you all as very good friend’s thank you for being here for us xxxxxxx

My husband and I lost our daughter in February 2012 and it is truly the hardest thing we have ever been through. After losing our angel we were given a special memory box containing precious bits for our baby. I joined  the Cherished Whispers site 4 months after losing our angel and then joined  the Whisper Page is  for parents/grandparents where they can go and  talk freely about the loss of a baby. At this point in time I was  not dealing with things very well and felt that I couldn't turn to my husband as he never wanted to talk about our angel or how he was feeling about what we had been through. So when I posted for the first time on the Whisper page I was so overwhelmed by the comfort and support for other grieving parents it helped me big time. Even now if I post on the Whisper page there is always someone to comfort you or give advice if needed. I am so very grateful that this charity/page was invented, as I feel it has made me a stronger person after such heartbreak. I never thought I would be able to cope but having this charity/page in my life, I truly have.

Cherished whispers has made the loss of our baby so much more bearable, and I don't know how I would have managed without the support of Cherished Whispers and all the other angel parents. No matter how I feel, I know they will always understand. The difference they have made is truly amazing. I can talk about Callum, and unlike alot of other people they undersand that I am a mum to three beautiful boys and not two. With them my angel is never forgotten or tiptoed around. He is always as much my baby as the others. They are amazing people and truly are angels walking amongst us. xxxx
