Baby Loss Comfort Gifts

Support your friend and loved one through what must be one of lifes most bitter experiences – losing a child. Families who have suffered the loss of a baby through miscarriage (a baby born before 20 weeks), stillbirth (the death of a baby after 20 weeks but before birth), or neonatal death (a live born baby who dies within 28 days of birth) will need your love and support.
No matter what stage of pregnancy the baby dies it will be heartbreaking for the family. Acknowledge their precious childs existence with a comfort gift.
Although nothing can take away the pain, let your friend know they are not alone – you care.
 

.:: A Time to Grieve ::.

After losing a baby you will need to allow yourself plenty of time to grieve. Use this time to be gentle with yourself and look for ways to slow down and be still.
Dont spend the time getting busy and trying to forget. You will regret this later on. Use this time to remember your baby.
There are a lot of ways to record your baby’s memories.

• Scrap book a special album for baby. 
• Fill a keepsake album with baby’s photos and other memory items. 
• Keep a journal.

If you are physically able, create a memory garden. It doesn’t have to be big. It can be any size you wish. A small pot with your favourite flowers is fine, or a large garden full of roses. It is for your babys memory – it will be unique.
While you are grieving, do try and go for a walk each day. There is something about being outside among fresh air and nature that is soothing to an aching heart.

• Sit and listen to some quiet, peaceful music.
• Read of other families journeys through grief.
• Have a supportive friend come and spend a day with you.

If you have trouble sleeping, an herbal bath before bed will leave you feeling relaxed and ready for a good nights rest.
Herbal Baths help heal, comfort and relieve your body, mind and spirit.
Herbs have been used for their healing, calming, and restorative properties, since the beginning of time.
If you would normally drink tea or coffee, try a non-stimulant like herbal tea, it is naturally free from caffeine and also healthful.
None of these things will take away the pain you are feeling or ease the longing you have to hold your baby. But they will help you surrender to the grief that surrounds you; they will help you to remember…
