People think that remembering your baby on the day of your loss may be strange practice, on this day you will notice how different you feel, maybe more cynical, weary or maybe more determined. Whatever changes you loss brought it is important to acknowledge it.

It is important to know that this day can be a major setback in your healing process if you are not prepared in advance. People spend the day going down a list of “What ifs”. You child will always be a part of you and so it is important to mark and remember this day. It is okay to feel sad. It is also important to do some kind of ritual to feel close to your baby.  Simple things you can do

·        A balloon release

·        Plant a tree

·        Buy a small token for your memory box

·        Write a journal entry for your memory box

(On a personal note: I always feel sad because I lost the innocence associated with a healthy pregnancy, whenever I see a pregnant woman, I feel the need to pray for the pregnancy that it turns out fine and that she may never have to endure a pregnancy loss)
