What you can do in memory of your baby

- Dedicate a part of your garden to your baby. Even if you don't have a garden you might like to have a
special pot plant.
- Send announcements. It can be a relief not to have to tell people in person. It could be a combined
birth/death announcement and can be a way of asking for support and understanding from family and friends.
- Buy something special. Often if the loss is early you may have nothing tangible to remember your baby
with. Whatever stage your baby reached, things like a teddy bear, special item of jewellry or even a beautiful
polished rock can be comforting.
- Have a Memory Box. Have a special box to keep all your precious memories in.
- Make a Memory Album. You might like to make or buy a special album to put any details you have in, write a
special message to your baby and add any photos or ultrasound you might have. Special poems you find or
write can be very special.
- Include the baby's father and siblings. Remember that the baby's father and siblings are also grieving in
their own way. It might be helpful to you all to share some of these ways to honour and remember your lost
baby.
