Morning ladies, I am very sorry that you find yourselves here. I have also been there twice.
But, this morning I want some help. I am meeting with our gynae ward to try and improve their service to women who have suffered a miscarriage. Currently they offer leaflets, but I wanted to do something more. I realise everyone is different in how they react and what they would want.
I have financial backing from a charity who deals with baby loss and we are looking to provide this to around 300-400 women per year, so we are a little limited in what we can afford to give out. I want to propose that we provide a discreet bag, with miscarriage support leaflets, information on online support and a local baby remembrance garden as a place for reflection and healing. I do have quite a few people keen to knit so I am considering including a small 6inch knitted square with something like a butterfly stitched on. Is this something you might have got some comfort from?
Is there anything else that you would have benefited from, as an item to give you comfort?
Thank you so much ladies, your help is very much appreciated.
Wishing you gentle days
Jo
