Just something to share
I know I'm farely new here, although have been lurking for a few months, and some of you may already have heard this before but I thought I'd share just in case.
After my MMC in Sept, I was told to make a memory box so that in 20 or so years time, when someone asked you about that time in your life, you would have a box of things to show them.
When we felt up to it, DH and I went shopping and got a lovely yellow box with teddies on, inside I put one of my positive pregnancy tests, a scan photo, a water bottle (as I could only drink water due to morning sickness), a lovely poem, a teddy bear I had got for bean and a small silver cross necklace I took to the chapel with me. At Christmas I made a bauble with the necklace inside and put it on the tree to remember our bean, I've now put the bauble in my memory box too.
It's nice to have something to look at when I feel sad and thought some of you might find some comfort doing this too when you felt ready.
