Hong Kong Connection：Love In Memory

In recent years, Hong Kong's birth rate has remained low and many couples who decide to have children, do so after careful consideration. However, not every pregnancy goes smoothly and many expectant mothers have experienced miscarriage or stillbirth.

In the past, some people believed that miscarried foetuses were not yet formed and could not be considered "life," even treating them as medical waste, neglecting the impact of miscarriage on bereaved parents and their need for support. In the 2018 Policy Address, the Hong Kong government announced the construction of the "Garden of Forever Love" to provide facilities for handling abortuses. In September of 2022, the "Home of Forever Love" was established to provide cremation services for abortuses, with the hope of helping affected families. There are also various groups in the community that offer counselling and support to bereaved parents. For these parents, their love for their deceased child lives on.
