Forever loved, never forgotten
Our Foundation
Created By Parents
Who Understand
Baby Loss Retreat was founded by Julie and Bryan Morrison after the loss of their beloved daughter Erin. Having experienced the devastating reality of baby loss themselves, they created a place where bereaved families can access support, counselling and healing without barriers.
Their vision was simple but profound: no family should face this grief alone. Today, Baby Loss Retreat supports families throughout Scotland through counselling, trauma therapy, remembrance initiatives, sibling support and completely free family retreats.
Every service we offer is shaped by lived experience — because we know what it means to need a gentle hand in the dark.

Erin's Retreat
The very first purpose-built sanctuary for families living with the heartbreak of baby loss.
A Place of Peace
Erin's Retreat will be the very first purpose-built sanctuary for families living with the heartbreak of baby loss. A loss that changes everything. A loss that doesn't fade when the world expects it to.
For bereaved families, everyday life can feel relentless. The noise, the expectations, the need to keep going while carrying a grief that is heavy, constant, and often invisible.
Time away isn't a luxury. It's a lifeline.
It's the chance to step out of survival mode, even just for a moment. To breathe in a space where their loss is understood without words. Where there is no need to explain, no need to pretend. Just space to grieve, to remember, to sit with their child in their hearts.
Erin's Retreat will be a place of quiet, of compassion, and of understanding. A place where broken hearts can find a small measure of peace. Where families can come together, or simply be still, and feel less alone.
This is what we are building. This is why it matters.
In Loving Memory
Forever Loved
Honouring the babies who remain forever in our hearts.
Gracie
Forever in our hearts, our beautiful girl.
Forever Loved
A love that time cannot diminish.
Always Together
Held close, remembered always.
Callum & Lyla
Two little stars shining forever side by side.
In Our Hearts
Wrapped in love, remembered with every breath.
"Forever loved, never forgotten."

"Baby Loss Retreat gave us the space to grieve together as a family without feeling like a burden. The retreat in Fife was the first time we'd truly relaxed since losing our son. The counsellors simply understood — no explanations needed."
