Back story- my SIL lost her first baby in the second trimester a few days before my LO was born. For Mother's Day I got her a pretty charm braclet with her miscarriage date on the back of a heart that says remember and another charm with little feet. I was feeling good about it until my dad said it was an awful idea and it will upset her. So I am looking for other moms opinions, especially those who have had a loss. Good idea or no?

I think it's a sweet idea. Your SIL will be sad to get it but I'm sure she will appreciate that you're honoring her LO and her as a mother.

My friend gave me a necklace after my miscarriage. It was something I could hold onto when I felt like I was going to fall apart. It helped to know that my child was as real to her as it was to me. It was nice that she wasn't trying to sweep it under the rug, that it was ok for me to grieve. Sometimes, that permission and acceptance is important and necessary.

If you're unsure of how she'll take it, I don't think you can go wrong with a card with a note about how you're thinking of her.
