I had a really hard time with my second loss at 17 weeks. After awhile I went to Michaels and picked out a baby style box pink/blue with elephants. I put all my u/s pics, journal, hospital bracelet, etc in there and put it under my bed. It's still there and makes me feel like I'm not forgetting and never to far. I think whatever makes you feel peaceful. My DH also bought me a beautiful bracelet with 3 aquamarines 1 for each baby and the last ones birthstone. This was to replace the hospital bracelet that I refused to remove.

I am also very sorry for your loss. I lost two in 6 months which is just devastating. After the first, I took up knitting so I could still feel as if I was creating something and after the second, we planted identical plants on the side of the house as a memory. I also talk about the losses sometimes which helps. Time does help but doesn't make the pain and feeling of loss go away. One friend that went through this bluntly told me the only thing that made her pain somewhat go away after her losses was actually having a baby.
DD born 1/28/99 Second BFP 7/23/11 due 4/1/2012 miscarriage 9/2/2011 DNC 9/4/2011
BFP 2/3/2012 due 10/19/2012 mmc discovered 3/30/2012- d&c 4/3/2012 loss was around 9 weeks. Going through rpl testing. Dr. Suspects some type of blood clothing disorder. Current dx- endometrosis stage II and possible PCOS.
I miscarried in 2009.. and no doubt, it will always be a little "raw" emotionally. I didn't do anything physically to comemmorate the baby.. but I think of it often. I think, when I feel ready (eventually?) I will do some kind of volunteer project in silent rememberance.
