So many who have gone through the loss of a child are so hopeless. That's a big reason that I started my blog - NathanielsLegacy.blogspot.com. God has given me hope and peace. I needed to share it.<br /><br />I did receive a bunch of stuff from the hospital when we lost Nathaniel. We got a memory box, a couple of handmade blankets, a stuffed lamb, brochures about grief, information about support groups, and a few books.<br /><br />Since I have made hats and blankets and donated them to our hospital. Another mom in our hospital support group makes gift bags with a lamb and the book Mommy Please Don't Cry and a note. <br /><br />Maybe include a list of some helpful websites and information about how to find help for family members. That has been our greatest struggle, help for children and grandparents for the loss of a baby. http://starlegacyfoundation.org has a section for resources for families and friends. There is a lot out there. Finding it is the problem.<br /><br />I just attended the Stillbirth Summit. I got lots of information about grief and resources. I will probably add a page to my blog with lists of where to find information.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305824413005155901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948137282146031244.post-67852059179794163872014-06-13T20:07:38.041-05:002014-06-13T20:07:38.041-05:00I like that idea - thanks for the encouragement!I like that idea - thanks for the encouragement!Missing Mikaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088853724231605169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948137282146031244.post-82289706298209140562014-06-13T20:07:08.249-05:002014-06-13T20:07:08.249-05:00Thank you both for your prayers and your ideas!Thank you both for your prayers and your ideas!Missing Mikaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088853724231605169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948137282146031244.post-91073211565154563122014-06-13T20:06:00.261-05:002014-06-13T20:06:00.261-05:00Thank you for the encouragement!

This post was beautifully written and inspiring. I'm moved by your desire to take your hurt and turn it into something encouraging for others who have the same pain. What if mothers who have had this experience make a baby blanket and pass it on. So that when a mother just finds out that she's had a miscarriage, she can take home the blanket made by someone else who knows. Really knows. Maybe it would help her to not feel so alone...have something to hold...wrap up in... It could be knit, crocheted, or even just fleece and tied with knots. <br />Just an idea. Thanks again for sharing this!

I am ...What a God Sized Dream you have been given! I am impressed with your raw-honesty. I started blogging during my own bout with post partum depression...and I HAD a baby to take home. I pray for your sweet sister...found your link on the FMF. I will pray for your journey through loss, love, etc. God is with you always...pray through this, and be bold to share your story and encourage other moms.<br /><br />I would recommend a pamphlet maybe with support groups/blogs/encouraging prayers with scripture?! Not sure if the hospital would allow...but they would if it was a Christian one/optional!? Come alongside us God Sized Dreamers...we blog...we pray...we act on our dreams: http://godsizeddreams.com/<br /><br />Holley Gerth's books would be an idea too for something to give mom's to encourage their hearts.Jennifer Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06841883404181132468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948137282146031244.post-71069309482188838902014-06-12T22:13:45.762-05:002014-06-12T22:13:45.762-05:00Don't hold back- you are needed to help others...Don't hold back- you are needed to help others.
