When you miscarry a baby, often the hospital staff speaks to you about disposition options, the availability of a chaplain, and possibly a memorial service. However, there are other more personal ways you can choose to honor your child. You can memorialize your baby by planting a tree or placing a personalized stepping stone in your yard. Other people are drawn to jewelry, which can be engraved or used to hold some ashes. Tattoos aren’t for everyone but these too can be a meaningful method of honoring your loss. Or put together a keepsake box with special mementos such as a sonogram or booty.
