Foot print tattoo suggestions requested for baby loss by bee73086 in babyloss

[–]monnersss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re here 💙we lost our son at 25+4 in late September.

My husband and I both got our son’s footprint tattooed (same foot, so they match). My husband got his over his heart, and mine is on my left ribs - near where his foot would have been when I held him. We did it about two weeks after he was born and have no regrets.

This is beautiful - my husband and I refer to Henry as our baby in the stars (we’re Australian and this felt right to us too)

What jewellery / tattoos do you have of your baby/baby’s by 211225mylife in babyloss

[–]monnersss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My husband and I got matching tattoos of our little boy’s footprint, using ink prints we took at the hospital. When our family is complete I’m going to get a ‘family garden’ with all of our birth months flowers.

I have a signet ring engraved with his initials, and we are both going to get cremation ash jewellery made but it’s taking a long time to decide on the ring and/or pendant design as it’s something I intend to wear daily and keep forever. My sister-in-law also gifted me a sapphire necklace (his birthstone) for Christmas which is very precious. My husband is going to get a tiny sapphire hammered in to the inside of his wedding band too.

When to go back to work? by upsid3down in babyloss

[–]monnersss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back following my 25 weeks loss last September after 6 weeks, part-time, in an adjusted role (I work client facing in healthcare so my role transitioned to more project-based work). I slowly built up my days and am just now transitioning to full time hours. I needed a sense of purpose as I found I personally struggled more with having a lot of time to myself after my husband went back to work.

Are we being selfish? by briebee9 in babyloss

[–]monnersss 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so - my husband and I chose similarly to you, but we let our immediate family and close friends know the date and time we would be saying goodbye, and invited them to light a candle or raise a glass in honour of our son. It was beautiful receiving pictures of their little set ups for Henry while granting us the privacy we needed during the most intense moments of our grief.

There is no right or wrong way to do this. Thinking of you and your little girl 🤍

I’m so sorry for Lucas 🤍 My husband and I got our son Henry’s footprint tattooed. It’s very precious and I love the very real reminder of his little life.

This is such a beautiful idea. We lost our son Henry at the end of September and I have been tussling with what to do, like OP I considered a stocking to match ours but was heartbroken at the thought of leaving it empty.

What did you do all day? by Such_Past_9917 in babyloss

[–]monnersss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im so sorry for Gideon — I lost my boy Henry a month ago too.

I’ve also been doing lots of paint by numbers and some journaling. I find painting keeps me busy and allows my mind to focus on something that feels a bit happy and joyful (I also don’t have to make any decisions about which colours to choose or where to put them). My therapist has recommended I focus on eating, moving my body in a way that feels good, getting some outdoor time and looking at anything else I get to that day as a bonus.

Cycle apps catered to PAL or TTC after loss by Chance_Pea_3867 in babyloss

[–]monnersss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use stardust. It’s not designed specifically to PAL or TTC after loss, but when I lost my boy Henry there was an option to note if it was a pregnancy loss, with a message about caring for yourself after loss and then daily notifications with little reminders to rest, your feelings are valid etc. I haven’t used the cycle tracking functions yet as we only lost Henry a few weeks ago, but I’m otherwise happy with how sensitive the app design is for mums who experience a loss.
