Two rooms at South Tyneside and Sunderland hospitals have been transformed to help bereaved parents cope with the loss of a baby.
The Sunderland-based 4Louis charity has created the "peaceful" rooms to provide a space for parents going through some of the worst news imaginable.
For more than a decade, 4Louis has supported grieving parents all over the country - and it's been responsible for providing memory boxes, cuddle cots and photography kits for devastated families.

But the charity also fundraises to create the best possible hospital environment for the families affected too, funding bereavement suites such as the Louis Suite at Sunderland Royal.
Kirsty Knight founded the charity with friends and family after losing baby Louis back in 2009.
Louis' grandmother Tracey McGurrell has now worked with the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Trust's Amanda Bargh to design the new rooms.
Grandfather Bob McGurrell, 4Louis' chief operating officer, explained why they were so important.
"These are quiet rooms and they’re subtle and not clinical, offering somewhere private where they can take time to absorb what they’ve been told, rather than still being part of the baby unit," he said.
"I think they will make a huge difference. They have been warmly welcomed so far and we hope they will be a will be a valuable asset to the units and families for years to come."
The new rooms were also decorated with murals by Andy Lamb - who himself has experienced baby loss - and a Sunderland youngster called Kayden.
Andy works for the charity Together for Children which helps people like Kayden around the city.
Amanda added: "While we can never lessen the upset losing a baby brings, having a fitting, dignified and comfortable place to talk to families will make all the difference.
"We are so grateful to 4Louis for their support in setting up these spaces. This is a great example of the partnership developed between us to support families."
