Ritualize your Loss

Burial. No matter how far along you were, a burial gives you, your close friends and family members (if you choose to have them present) an opportunity to say goodbye to your baby. Many funeral homes will do a burial for a very low cost (or free).

Name your baby. No matter how far along, it can be helpful to name your baby. Even a nickname can be helpful.

Write a letter to your baby. Share all the things that you wished to tell them.

If you are more creative, write a poem or create a piece of art.

Plant a tree. Nurturing and caring for a plant or tree can be very therapeutic.

Buy and read a special book to your baby. “Love You Forever” by Robert Munsch is a beautiful book about love after baby loss.

Have a balloon release in honour of your baby.

Celebrate due dates or birth dates by baking a cake, buying a card or lighting a candle.

Tell your story. Share your baby’s name. Connect with other parents who have experienced loss.

Create a space in your home that has mementos of your pregnancy and baby.

Get a tattoo.

Pay it forward and donate to PILSC in memory of your journey and baby.
