Toulouse association supports parents after the loss of a child before or soon after birth
Just2ailes is an association in Toulouse that supports parents after the loss of a child before or shortly after birth.
Its founder, Marjorie, created it after losing three children during pregnancy.
She and her partner found it difficult to take in important practical information while in shock.
The association’s website gathers resources and includes parents’ accounts of what others said that helped or hurt.
In France, perinatal mortality was 11 deaths per 1,000 births in 2024, according to the figures cited by the Drees.
Just2ailes says a lost child cannot be replaced, and the grief can remain with parents for many years.
On October 15, the association will hold a tribute event at Place Agnès-Varda in Toulouse, with activities including decorating stones and a bubble release.

What people are saying
When you are told that a child has died, you disconnect. You stop listening to everything.
A child is never a bandage.
With my partner Romain, we realised that we were being bombarded with information while we were in a state of shock.
