My friend lost her baby today and I was wondering if you could help me with?

some ideas as to what to get her? I%26#039;ll get some flowers but I%26#039;d like to get her something that will last forever? When I lost my bub I got cards, flowers and chocolates. All I have as a keepsake is the prgnanvy test! My loss was 14 years ago and sometimes I wish I had something more to treasure in memeroy of my lost baby.


If you have ever lost a baby or know someone who has, do you have any sugestions???

I lost my baby last year, I had a stillbirth and really a card that explains that you would be there for her if she ever needs you is a good thing. I loved to know that they are there for me when ever I need them and I need someone by my side.
Reply:A bracelet, necklace or brooch with an engraved name and date they was first conceived or when your friend first knew she was pregnant and the day they died. Or just the day she died if you don%26#039;t know the conceived or known pregnant date.





That would be so sweet.


Just make sure its very good jewelery not the cheap stuff.





Its a hard time for your friend at the moment as you might know so stay with her always and try to do things to take her mind off of her.


Cry with her. Let it all out. It makes you feel so much better and hopefully she should get stronger day by day.
Reply:We just bought our first home and the previous owner had a miscarriage and planted a rosebush in memory of the lost child. She was very specific that she was going to dig it up when we closed and take it to her new house. I think a plant like that is a great idea. It was a paradise rose...very sweet.
Reply:I lost my lil angel last year in June after 27 days of giving birth to her. All i really wanted at that time was a room to cry and keep out of everyone. But my friends were really nice. They all came over and took me out for lunck/dinner. My boss sent me a bunch of white roses with a note. That was very touching. BUt my firneds use to take me out and that helped me a lot from sulking in a room and crying.





So I wld say instead of giving her anything that wld make her remember the pain for long, take her away from the pain. Take her out and invite her to your place. Maybe have long talks with her that would help her ease her tension and act as a catharsis.





If you really want to get her something, get a plant or a shrub for her. Ask her to plant that in her garden and name it by her baby;s name. That would really heal her soul when she would watch the plant grow. My sympathies with your friend. I hope she gets pregnant vey soon. Good Bless.

Reply:Well I have had three miscarriages, two of those this year actually. I don%26#039;t have anything but the ultrasound pics to remember them by. Go get her a teddy bear or a stuffed animal. OR a nice pic with a biblical poem. Something girly and comforting.
Reply:What about a really nice peom in a picture frame.
Reply:Your Right Darl I Gave Them All A Thumbs Up!


The Best Thing Right Now Is To Be There For Your Friend And To Have Her Know She Is Truly Loved. Miscarriage Is A Very Difficult Thing To Come To Terms With. My Wife Lost A Pregnancy 8 Years Ago And The Nursing Staff Treated Her Like It Was Her Fault, They Operated To Remove The Foetus And Showed No Sympathy At All. The Baby Was Conceived Through IVF And Just Didn%26#039;t Take Properly Just Like Thousands Of IVF Pregnancies So Why No Sympathy For My Wife?


Sorry This Isn%26#039;t About Me And My Wife But We Planted A Rose Bush As A Memorial To The Life We Lost. You Could Do Something Similar With Your Friend Though It%26#039;s Very Important To Let Her Take The Lead In Anything, She Needs To Be In Control As Her Loss Was Out Of Her Control If You Can Understand What I%26#039;m Getting At?


God Bless You All And To Anyone Who Has Suffered A Similar Loss Blessed Be Evermore.
Reply:eite down the date it was lost then give it a name on a calendar, or make a plaque out of something
Reply:you could get her a necklace with his/her bday name or something special engraved. depending on how far she was if she has pictures of the baby you can get her a locket.





a framed poem, and engraved plaque





if she owns her own house a small tree to plant in her yard that will forever grow even past her life time





was it a loss during pregnancy or a baby after birth?





if its was after birth and she has pictures you can make a quilt with some of his/her things clothes and then do pictures on it also. that would be amazing.
Reply:A donation to charity where the baby will end up on a list?





Get a bunch of people together and get a plaque in a cemetery?
Reply:If she wears jewelry there is a necklace that I found when I lost my baby last year and it%26#039;s a heart with a pair of footprints that are the size of a 10 week embryo....I wish I could have gotten one at the time. Also there are so many different websites that are dedicated to pregnancy loss with beautiful poems that will capture the pain she%26#039;s going through. I would find a poem that touches your heart and have it printed up on nice paper and frame it for her.
