Has Anyone done a memorial?

in Late Term and Child Loss
I had a miscarriage in August last year. I was 12 weeks but the baby measured 9 weeks. I have a 28 months old little girl and she's the best!
I am still having a hard time with my loss, I am going to therapy for that and some other issues. My therapist suggested to have some kind of memorial. My good friend said the same thing without event knowing what my therapist said. I am definitely considering doing this and DH thinks is a good idea. Not sure what to do though... Has anyone done that before?

    I didn't have a memorial, but I did do a keepsake of sorts.  Isabelle was cremated and placed in a heart shaped urn.  She is on our bookshelf in our living room.  I see her everyday.

    Remembering your LO in your own special way is important for the grieving process.  Some have memorials, some plant special bushes or trees, some wear loss jelewry.  It's really up to you how you want to memorialize your child.

    I am sorry for your loss, but the woman on this board have all suffered late term losses, stillbirth, or infant loss. So, many of us have had photos taken, funerals, and memorial services. Many of us do something special on the day our children were born and/or the day we lost them.
    I am sure you will be able to find woman with similar situations on the miscarriage, pregnancy loss board.

    it's okay that you posted here, a loss is still a loss in my eyes. I had a stillbirth and we did a memorial. We did it at my in laws, we put up pics of my daughter, the guests wrote notes to put in my scrapbook, and we ate some food. it was really nice. good luck to you and sorry for your loss.
