I was browsing around my sister's online shop and found a Healing Hearts Baby Loss Comfort Kit. In addition to the product, this page includes ideas and helpful information for those who want to comfort a mother who has lost her baby.

Love,

Angie, Thanks for posting this. The kit looks beautiful, although a bit pricey for me right now.

Having gone through 2 miscarriages now, it's unexpected when the wound reopens and the tears flow. I think I'm fine, and then a surge of feelings of loss.

Just reading the information is helpful to me.

Jenn, six years after the loss of my newborn son and the same thing happens to me. It's always some silly, unexpected thing that starts the tears again.

Thank you Angie! Having never lost a baby it is hard to know how to comfort a friend. I absolutely love the products. I recently found a "nursing tea" at Whole Foods that I took to a new mother and she was so happy with it. I'd love to have more things like this, both for the new moms and as a blessing for the grieving moms. I will bookmark this; BTW, who is your sister?

I heard recently of a group of ladies that sew tiny gowns for still borns or late miscarriages. They said they make 2 identical gowns, one for the parents as a remembrance and the other for the baby to have his picture in & be buried in. They said too many times the pictures are of the baby in just a blanket b/c alot of the babies are only 1-3 lbs & the parents don't have anything beautiful to dress them in. I thought this was a beautiful.

Thanks, Jenny. Does anyone have more information on this? No time to online search right now.

Love,

Thanks for posting that link!

I'm sorry Kristina.

I agree, the list of things not to say was very helpful. The one that drove me crazy was "God wanted another angel so He took your Joseph". I just tried to remember that people really did mean well, that there really are not many comforting words to say when you lose a newborn, or a baby at any stage.

Thanks Angie. After Joseph died I remember someone gave me a kind of Immunity tea so that I wouldn't get mastitis from milk building up unused. And I remember getting some kind of lavender products for their calming and soothing effects. Those were good ideas.

Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!! They are truly appreciated! Although, we've found out why I've been miscarrying, the treatment still doesn't guarantee that it won't happen again.

I really feel for the women here going through another pregnancy after miscarriage- you are in my prayers!!

Kristina,
Knowing a possible cause does give you tangible hope. As Michaela's thread has pointed out, none of us has guarantees. In the end, all we have is faith. And all we really, really can do is pray for God to increase our confidence in His goodness. Those are my prayers for you. I do hope you will be holding a baby soon. I know how empty arms ache.

Hi everyone! I have to thank my sister for posting this too, because even though I sell this, I never read the whole page for this product. When I miscarried, the hardest and most common comment was, "Well, at least you were only 5 1/2 weeks." The first few times people said it, I just shrugged it off and actually felt guilty that I was suffering so much. But, then I sort of lost it on someone and said that I was thankful to not have to got through a lot of physical trauma, but that I was grieving because I believe that life begins at conception. I know I made them feel very uncomfortable, but I just couldn't take that comment anymore. It's hard to say the right thing. It's also hard to know what you want to hear.

I am so happy to see that this information is touching some of your lives in a positive way.
