One of my best friends just lost her baby at 21 weeks and gave birth to her yesterday. My friends all wanted to pitch in for flowers (they were like $120) but instead I was thinking something like this:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/99905935/custom-footprint-necklace-made-from-your?ref=sr_gallery_44&ga_search_query=footprint+jewelry&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all

So far the girls that have replied like the idea. I am gonna talk to my friend's husband tonight when I bring them dinner. Do you think this is a good idea?

     I am so sorry for her loss. After my son was born sleeping my sister and cousin both got me necklaces. One was a heart with his name and birthday engraved on it that also had an angel charm attached. The other was an "enternal flower" in the color of his birthstone. Both were very welcome so I think it's a great idea.

    If you Google "memory jewelry" you might find more options.

    I think it is a good idea though there is also a clicky link at the top of our page that will give you advice.

    Sorry for her loss.

    I think this is a beautiful idea.  There are ALOT of options for memorial jewlery (especially on etsy) but I second PP, you can google it too.  I think it's better than flowers because flowers die....I remember those first few weeks after Logan died and all the flowers that came.  One by one they all died and it only made more sad.  If you decided to send flowers, I would send a plant/planter of some sort.  Something that can be watered, pruned, cared for and has a chance to live (if that makes sense).

    As pottermommy said, there is a link at the top of the Loss main page that gives advice for your situation.
