Honouring Your Baby and Marking Your Loss

"A person's a person no matter how small" Dr Seuss. 

After losing your baby you may find it helpful at the appropriate time for you, to do or create something that marks the loss of your baby and honours their brief life. This can help not only by validating your baby's life, but also bring comfort and healing.

A Certificate

If you miscarry berfore 24 weeks of your pregnancy, there is no legal recognition of your baby's brief life. There are websites that will create a beautiful recognition of life certificate for your baby. Some of the ones I find particularly beautiful are;

A Ceremony
 
If you don't have a funeral or ceremony after your miscarriage, you may want to hold a memorial ceremony; this could be in your own place of worship, in your home, or in a place special to you. It could be just for close friends and family, or even just you and your partner.
 
Some hospitals organise annual services of remembrance for babies who have died there.
 
♥ The Bluebell Foundation holds a service at Furness General Hospital in December each year to remember babies who have died.
 
♥ Saying Goodbye services are held in cathedrals across th UK throughout the year.                       Visit   www.sayinggoodbye.org   for more details of dates and venues.
 
♥ Tigerlily Trust  holds a Remembrance Celebration to remember all our babies each year on October 15th - International Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day, and joins with the global wave of light around the world. 
 
♥ The Royal Lancaster Infirmary holds a remembrance service in November every year at                St Thomas's Church in Lancaster.
 
 
 
 

 

October 15th International Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness Day + Global Wave of Light
We are very grateful to Scott and Claire for their generous hospitality in hosting us for our annual Remembrance Celebration. We invite you to join us for a very special evening remembering and celebrating all our babies and children gone to soon.
On this special date, we will light candles and be part of the global wave of light around the world. It will be an evening of remembering and honouring our babies, sharing and connecting with those who have travelled this path and those who help us to travel it. 
If you would like to come along, please join our event on Facebook - to help us prepare for accommodating you.


Doors open 6pm please come early to allow time for candle lighting and putting an angel on our remembrance tree in memory of your baby or child. 
There will be tea and coffee afterwards and time to talk and connect with each other.
We hope to see you there, message or email Val with any questions you may have, I will do my best to answer - enquiries@tigerlilytrust.co.uk

We understand that some of you may wish to join us for the Remembrance Celebration but be unable to attend - with this in mind we would like to offer you a way to include your precious babies too. If you send us their name in an email we will honour them by lighting a candle for them and speaking their name with all our babies during the ceremony.
United we honour our precious ones, together we help each other to heal.
Love and blessings, Val x x x
