Having personally experienced this, I know how hard it can be. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
A thought for you. When I had my misscariage, my aunt bought me a Precious Moments angel with the babies birthstone. For me it's a reminder of my 4th child and the angel s/he has become. I'm not sure if they even make them anymore. The other thought is an angel ornament for the tree so they can memorialize the child every year.
It's hard to know how families will react, some just may want to put it behind them and not think about it, others want to remember. Do what you think your bro and SIL would prefer.
wow, what a sweet idea! i'm sure they'll want 2 remember...they started telling their son & everyone else so early - very strong in their faith & never worried about the "waiting period" to announce the news...it's such a sad day, but i'm sure they'll want to remember their 2nd child & the angel idea is perfect! thx girl!
I'm so sorry. As a mom it's so hard to imagine that. I will be thinking of them.
What a nice way to remember, Jen.
Also having personal experience with it around a holiday, we released a balloon for "Baby Jaden" at our favorite kite park up on a beautiful hill and the closest part of town that is the nearest to heaven ;) We celebrated and had a memorial picnic after releasing a heart shaped balloon with our baby's name tied to it that said "A valentine for the newest angel in heaven".
I also had to have a D&C just a couple days before Valentines' Day.
I agree with Jen. Some people just want to move on and some need closure in another way. You may want to ask you brother what they would prefer. I did feel a little better after.
BTW...we went on to have two more children, so even though it's tough right now, things will get better with time.
wow, I can't imagine going through that. I'm constantly wondering how things are progressing and when's the "right" time to start telling...
I love the angel idea!
