4. Letter/Diary

Some members of a group felt writing a letter to their baby helped them through their grief. Others kept a diary of how they felt and coped.

5.Scans/Photos

If you suffered a later miscarriage you may have photos of your baby that the hospital took or you may have some scan pictures. However these photos can fade over time but it is possible to have a negative made of your photo. This means you can make copies whenever you want. Most processing shops will provide this service, but be aware some people may not realise what your picture is and be insensitive.

6. Name your baby

Naming your baby, no matter how early you lost your baby, can help give a permanent reminder. You can give your baby a name at any time, it doesn't have to be straight after your loss.
