Thoughtful Gift for any Woman Grieving the Loss of her Baby
Flowers are a great way to bring color and reminder of the love and support from friends and family. I purchased two butterfly bushes when I lost my set of twins. It was a difficult loss, which sent me to the emergency room and lingering health issues for months. So many different animals can represent those who have departed. I saw butterflies fluttering around the yard and thought the metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly was beautiful.
Meaningful Messages of Hope and Love after Pregnancy Loss
Some types of animals have even been said to be bearers of very specific kinds of messages, for instance, ladybugs are said to be a good omen, offering assurance, particularly when things seem to be at their darkest, that not all is lost. Butterflies and birds, especially cardinals and blue jays, have long been seen as messengers that a departed loved one is still watching over you. Do you have an animal you look for as a sign of the infinite love of someone who has passed?
How to Support Someone who has had a Miscarriage
- Listen.
- Talk about the baby and use his / her name.
- Offer to help with housework or with childcare.
- Be sensitive to the varied emotional reactions by grieving parents.
- Acknowledge the experience and express your feelings of sadness.
National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is October 15th
October 15th is National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. My newsfeed in October is peppered with the women affected. One in four women will experience this loss. On the last day of October I broke my silence on my group Facebook page.
Why do I love this company? The jewelry tells my story! I have had a total of five miscarriages. Sharing stories with other woman you will find you are not alone. Once you open up women will share their stories of pregnancy / infant loss and miscarriage.
