What have we heard?

Something to hold is just that -After now 2 miscarriages I can't help but feel empty and that I have nothing from my pregnancy or baby I lost to commemorate or just physically see, touch or hold. Im so grateful I get to have a soft blanket to hold and snuggle!

I sent two blankets, one to a friend and one to my sister who lost their babies. They both were extremely touched and felt very seen. They expressed how happy they were to have something tangible to hold to remember their sweet babes. The blankets themselves are lovely and I would 100% recommend sending one to any mama who has lost a baby at any stage. It is such a gift to the mom.

I praise God for such a wonderful ministry. After my daughter went to be with the Lord, a nurse sent me one of their blankets. It was comforting to me as I held it close. Now, I can’t wait to pass on that comfort to a neighbor whose baby passed recently. I look forward to giving it to her as she grieves her own loss.

Even as a two time mom of loss it’s hard to know how to comfort a friend going through the same. My friend was so appreciative to have this blanket to hold and remember her pregnancy. Being able to give her something tangible with meaning made me feel like at least I could do something to help her. Thank you!
