Nothing to add but complete agreement and love the gift guide! I need to buy myself new loungewear and a GYPB hoodie too! When I think about my angel babies, I think about y'all's (and yall!) babies too 💗
Loungewear is life.❤️ mine from January is this fuzzy brown crop top tank top with pants and Caleb calls it my “mama bear outfit.”😂
You are so kind. We really need to get together in person again sometime soon. We’ll be in the cities a few times this summer so I’ll have to reach out and see if you’re free at all!
the only thing i wish every miscarrying woman had is the held in hope boxes. those things comfort my miscarriage heart even tho it was 18+ years ago and i never had a chance of having one... i did not like how my miscarriage went down. from the medical team i had, i felt unheard. i felt like a diseased person who had to have something removed. i didnt feel seen. i didnt feel cared for. i most of all was NOT informed, or given the right and option of informed consent. i was given a scare tactic into a medical procedure that i would never have chosen, and would not chose again - if only there had been an option like held in hope has. every hospital should be forced to have them. if only!
This is helpful. How to help someone who has gone through 10+ miscarriages and keeps trying? She doesn’t have family near her, and doesn’t have the funds to try something else. She has one 5 year old. I’m worried about her mentally and she doesn’t have a stable partner. Are there support groups you recommend?
You could try checking out https://www.mariposatrust.org/ and see if there's anything there that would help. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's losses.
I also had my miscarriages in Jan and April of the same year- Christmastide, and Easter Sunday. It's still a lot to process 4 years later.
This is such a good list- and I'm always so happy when people are writing and talking about miscarriage. We need to make it less of a taboo.
We named the babies we lost. Something that I was SO GRATEFUL for was when people used their names and got us gifts with their names on. At the height of my grief I could have plastered every inch of our home with their names, so greatly did I feel their loss and the need to affirm their once-existence on earth and their now existence in heaven. So, if someone does choose to name their babies then I'd encourage gifts or cards that use those names :)
