If you've ever had a miscarriage?

Question

Did you have a memorial for your baby? I miscarried my last baby about 4 months ago and we had a memorial for him.

Answer 1

Yes, i did. It was important to me to grieve. I went to a park with my husband and let a balloon go. And we prayed. It just needed closure.

Answer 2

I lost my first baby at 19 weeks and my second baby at 23 weeks, and I had funeral's for both of them.  I think even if you lose a baby at 4 weeks if you want to have a little something in rememberance it is a healthy choice and a way for you to have closure.  I am sorry for your loss.  :-(

Answer 3

No, I didn't even know I was pregnant when it happened.  So no memorial.  

Answer 4

I understand how you feel but no , don't waste your money on something like that the child have not even fully form

Answer 5

Yes I did.  When I lost my baby last year we had a small memorial for her/him.  My husband was in Iraq when it happened so he took emergency leave to come home and be with me despite his sergeant telling him he was a fool for doing so.  We have a stone marker in our yard for a memorial and I had a special frame for the one and only ultrasound I have of the baby.  It was a very emotional thing but it gave us a sense of closure and helped me to move on.

We picked out the name Kathryn Rose for the baby.  We periodically change out flowers for her memorial stone.

Answer 6

Yes I had just lost 2 twin boys on the 5th of April.

We had names picked out as well.

Evan Jasper and Earl Jackson

The twins were a gift from the start but had alot of hardship.

We made a memorial site online as well as in our house we have a mother to be snow globe that was engraved with both there names on it which I listen to the music before I go to bed. We also have a horseshoe with both their names on it as well

and 2 stuffed animals as well a tiger and lion. to bunnies with their names well.

I agree letting go is hard but living on the memories of ones lost is harder thats the reason we did this to live threw what we can .

I have also a few other things I am adding first xmas ordiments and valentine day stuff etc I am not letting anything go by without them

Answer 7

no i didnt i was only 12 weeks when i miscarried, but it was terrible, worst thing ive ever been through, im ttc again, hope all goes well.

Answer 8

i guess it depends how far along they were and if stillborn...

I miscarried , but it was so arly in the pregnancy...

Answer 9

no, I was 18 when I had an ectopic pregnancy, I was young and didn't really understand the whole thing.

Answer 10

if thats what you want to do then go a head, i think buying a little white angel and placeing it a the bottom of your garden would be very special to you and your memories

Answer 11

One of my good friends lost her baby after carring almost full term. Memorial funds are to bury the child, I would think that is appropriate if you use the funds for burial. Set it up with the funeral home. Sorry for your lose.

Answer 12

My aunt tracey has about 4 times and recently they were blessed with wonderful healthy twins. I'm not sure if they do but I think they may. I think that it is good that you had a memorial it is good for the grieving process.

Answer 13

I havent had a miscarriage but my aunt did and she didnt have a memorial. I can understand why you would espially if its your first child.. but it does seem sorta wierd. But its all good. It would be devistating loosing your child.

Answer 14

No i did not. I was only 6 weeks along, didn't know the s*x and only knew i was pregnant for a couple weeks. I was very sad though and I still think about it all the time, even 2.5 yrs later!
