It was just so nice and appreciated that she remembered and acknowledged the date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921502 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 16:37:38 +0000 PurplePumps 2921502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see you didn't go with the birth stone, but I was going to echo the same sentiments. I've had 2 losses and would not want a birthstone alone sort of reminder. Birthstone ring/ necklace/ bracelet to me represents an actual birth. For my losses, I got angel wing charm for a bracelet. If the wing had a birthstone in it, i think I'd be ok with that too.<br /> I think the morse code due date is a great idea too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921501 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 14:09:48 +0000 josina 2921501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Chuckles: Thank you so much for your perspective, and so sorry for your multiple losses. :( She's struggling because she had hoped to be pregnant again by now.</p> <p>@SweetCaroline: Sorry for your loss. The willow tree is a great idea also, and that way not something that has to be a daily reminder if she doesn't want it to be.</p> <p>@JennyPenny: Thanks for your perspective, and sorry for your loss. :heart:</p> <p>ETA: I went with a morse code bracelet with the due date on it, so it's a subtle reminder just for her vs. a birthstone where people might ask, and let her know to wear it if/when she wants to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921500 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 14:07:25 +0000 JennyPenny 2921500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's really thoughtful. I've debated buying myself a piece of jewelry to commemorate my loss but I can't seem to decide. If someone gifted something to me I would really treasure it and be so grateful to that person. I know everyone processes things differently, and for me there would be days I would feel especially inclined to wear the bracelet, and days when I just wouldn't. But really I think the hardest part is feeling that people close to me have forgotten. I think this is a kind way to communicate you haven't forgotten her or her baby. And especially shows that you're there for her to talk about it if she needs to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921499 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 13:11:11 +0000 SweetCaroline 2921499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are very thoughtful. You know your sister best. I had one loss and it is represented by a tiny heart stamped with angel wings on a necklace that has stamped tags with the names of DH and my other 2 kids. I also have a Willow Tree ornament of an angel holding a baby that is very dear to me. So, everyone is very different. I think your heart is in the right place, regardless of what you chose. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921498 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:59:34 +0000 Chuckles 2921498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that's a really nice, thoughtful idea. I will say that sometimes people get worried about "reminding" us that we've had miscarriages, but you don't need to worry about that. Especially if it's relatively recent, it's not like she forgot. And it's also very thoughtful that you remembered her baby's due date. However, I will say that whether she would want to wear jewelry to remind herself of the due date is obviously very personal. I definitely would not want that for myself, as someone who has had multiple losses. I would probably just make sure to reach out right before or on that day to let her know that you remember and are thinking about her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/miscarriage-amp-due-date-gift#post-2921497 Tue, 15 Dec 2020 12:43:07 +0000 josina 2921497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister lost her baby in May this year and the due date was December 20th. (12 week D&amp;C)</p> <p>I was thinking of gifting her a simple December birthstone bracelet, but since I've never had a loss, am wondering if it's appropriate? Thoughts or other suggestions? </p>
