Hi
I'm a first year BMid. A little over a
month ago, one of my follow through women had stillborn twins. Because she is
still quite ill (and in hospital), the funeral is yet to be held and we have
just starting to talk about momentos. We've covered a lot, but I wanted any
other ideas.
hi kate as a mid student i looked after a
stillbirth so my heart goes out to you, all you can do is talk with the woman
and use all your skills of empathy and understanding.
regards sharon

Hi Kate,
I like Joys ideas, and we did very
similar things when our little one died in June, friends gave us 2 Angel Face
roses, and a couple of David Austen roses, and we have planted a garden in
memory of our little girl with each of our children having their own special
plant for her.
Black and white photos look really nice, some taken with all the family together

When my sister lost her baby,
my mum, other sister and I had a ceremony together. My sister and I each made
her a small, quilted wall piece and my mum gave her a love, hope and charity

one hospital that is very supportive and many clients arrivepushing and

Thank you for all the ideas.
The parents are leading - they are starting to think about their babies now, and
we have talked about various options. I guess I just wanted to make sure I
hadn't overlooked any obvious ones while we still have the babies. The parents
want mementoes, and have
