  Joshua's Boxes 14 December 2004  
helping families face the death of a newborn baby

16 families a day in the UK face the loss of a baby, either at birth or in the first month of life. But the level of support offered to bereaved families can still vary hugely, depending on the hospital they are in. 

Kate Weidmann reports on how one family's experience of this loss led them to help others in their situation by creating Joshua's Boxes.
