International Babylost Mother's Day

International Babylost Mother's Day (The FIRST Sunday in May) is another wonderful project from Carly over at Love Reign Over Me (she is also the creator of To Write Their Names in the Sand, which is a wonderful way to honor our babies).

Have you checked this out yet? There's a link on the photo above to this new project. Carly is organizing a special project to go along with the day. A babylost-awareness movie clip to put on YouTube of babylost Momma's. If you'd like to take part, click here.

Waterfall Angels - Name Memorial

I love it when parents come up with a way to memorialize our children. Seems I can never get enough of it! Waterfall Angels is just that, a beautiful way to remember our babies. Lisa (mommy to Jasper) is writting names on a lovely river rock and then taking them down to Rainbow Springs State Park in Florida and taking pictures. She then lovingly uploads them to her blog for the parents to click on the photo and save a copy to their computers. I just loved the ones she did for my sweet Logan. You can see them here. Thank you Lisa for giving me one more sweet reminder.

What Etsy has to offer Baby Loss Families

Etsy, if you don't already know, is like eBay (with out the bidding) for handmade items. There are a few things on there for people who have suffered through infant loss, miscarriage and stillbirth. One thing that stood out to me was a shop that sold handmade cards named A Loss Remembered. There is also jewelery, sculptures and whatnot. Anyhow, I just wanted to take a minute and point out this card maker since there are few places to find cards for our special circumstance.

Question

After your own baby died, did you experience the loss of a friend or family member's baby? How did you react or feel? What did you say or do for that person after their loss?
