What would have been our duedate, November 22, is only a few weeks away. Because we lost Sydney before I was 20 weeks along, we never had a funeral or any kind of service
I think because we nenver had any outward sign of our loss, my boyfriend and I are having a hard time coming to closure about it. I think on the due date, you're going to go the the cemetery where my dad was buried and visit the area for the unborn children. (In case you didn't know, most Catholic cemeteries have an area dedicated to babies lost through miscarriage and abortion.)
I've read a lot of stories about things people have done to remember their unborn babies, like planting trees or releasing balloon, but nothing I've read has really struck a chord with me.
Is there anything you've done or heard of that you think would help us bring closure to our loss?
As always, thank you for all your support and God bless,
Jen

You can light a candle during the day or evening.
You could buy a baby item and donate it to a shelter or crisis pregnancy center.
You could make a few care packages to give to the hospital you delivered at for them to give other bereaved parents that come in....include a baby-ish photo album, disposable camera, inspirational bookmark, journal, pen, small stuffed animal, etc...whatever you want.
You can put a label on the bag or the items that says "In loving memory of our baby, Sydney."
Do you have any u/s photos? I made a shadowbox frame for our baby who passed. I started it before he died, but ended up not finishing until he had already gone. It is several of his pics on gray cardstock, with his monogram, and the phrase "Love at first sight" at the top. :D It would be a nice item to have hanging in your house to always remember Sydney.

I've told my DH that I want to buy a granate slab or a giant rock and get it engraved for our angels.

Make a pregnancy ticker
