This card was made in memory of my second son who died during delivery on October 19, 2000. I made it a couple of years ago, hoping I would never have to use it. I did end up using it when a student of mine passed away. I'm so glad I had it on hand, because I wasn't in the crafty mood at the time.
Many of us have known someone who has had a miscarriage. Some of you may have known someone who has had a stillborn baby, a baby die as an infant, or a young child die either tragically or from an awful disease. In all of these situations, we need to proceed carefully.
What do you put inside a sympathy card for the loss of a baby or child? You can always use a search engine to find a verse or poem. There are lots of good ones. Don't ever say you understand.... unless you do. You can very appropriately say, "Just want you to know I care". When offering to help, be specific. Offer to go grocery shopping, help with older children's homework or car pooling. Maybe make a meal or do some laundry. Think concretely.
When do you send cards? At the time of death is just the obvious. But don't forget these times: at the anniversary of the death, the first Christmas or significant holiday, the child's birthday or due date for a miscarriage or premature birth.

My hubby bought Halloween hats/costumes for the cats today. They are soooo cute! I had to try them on right away and take pics. Of course, they are not so thrilled. LOL! I'm hoping to get those pics posted on Halloween night.

Wow! This is an old card. I can't remember when I made this, but it was during a Sell-a-bration month. I like the repeated stamping of the flowers for a BG and the simple sentiment.
This date is a significant one for me. It represents the gift of life. My first son was a micro preemie and spent 15 weeks in NICU. He finally came home on Oct. 19, 1995, weighing just 3 pounds 12.5 ounces. We celebrate every year. We call it his Homecoming Day! We are so blessed to have him in our lives.
