Celebrating Mother's Day with a Grieving Mom Who Has Suffered a Miscarriage

Mother's Day is around the corner. I am a grieving mother, as are many out there. Mothers who have experienced a miscarriage may find Mother's Day an emotional day. However, you can help these mothers realize that they still are mothers, and with a sweet token, you can help them remember the babies that were lost. They will appreciate your kindness, recognizing that their babies were, in fact, babies, and that they are grieving.

Some gift ideas that you may want to consider is:

Forget-Me-Not seed packet. Forget-Me-Nots are Perennials, which means they will come up year after year. This symbolizes that you will never forget the baby that was lost. Seeds can be found in just about any garden shop.

Angel in my Heart necklace. This is a sweet necklace that was designed by Wendy Becker. Wendy lost her baby at 14 weeks. After looking at her sonogram pictures, she came up with the idea to create a necklace using the sonogram picture. What she designed is a simple heart with a 14 week gestation baby inside of it. It is just a wonderful way of remember her baby, and the perfect gift for a mother who has experienced the same thing. You can purchase this necklace through her site, Miscarriage Memories. The charm can be purchased for as low as $20

Polymer Clay Doll. Polymer Clay Dolls can be found on eBay rather easily. They come in different sizes, some are as small as an inch while others are life size. They can be purchased for as low as $15, but often the prices are higher depending on the creator and quality. A polymer clay doll can give the grieving mom something to hold. The tiny dolls are perfect for the early miscarriage loss while you may want to purchase a larger baby for a Mother further along.

Teddy Bear. A Teddy bear is one of the first toys that a baby receives. You can find bears of all shapes and sizes. Teddy Bears can be found at any toy store.

Poems. There are tons of poems that are available on the internet that can be used. Or you can write your own. Finding the perfect poem to say what you want may be a little harder, but I know if you just look you will find exactly what you are looking for.

Journals. A simple journal with a new pen would be wonderful for the grieving mother to have a place to put her feelings down. Often being able to write how you feel helps the mother to feel better.

Rose Quartz. This pink gemstone is believed to promote healing. Many different items can be found at My Forever Child.

Cards. Do not forget the card. You may have a hard time finding just the right card for a grieving mom. I would suggest in that case to purchase a blank card and write a special message in it.

With so many choices, I am certain you will find the perfect gift for a grieving mother on Mother's Day.
