ABSTRACT
This chapter shares approaches myself and others have found useful when marking and moving forward after loss. Memorials can be a means of remembering our losses, celebrating a pregnancy even if it did not go to term. Thinking about and remembering miscarriage can be very healing, but if it is something that distresses us and it is easier to cope by not dwelling on our losses that is fine too. There is no right or wrong way to remember a loss. We should not feel uncomfortable if we still wish to do this years after the event. Hospitals and charities often organize annual multi-faith and secular memorial services specifically designed for people that have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss. An official marking of a loss can be healing and powerful, as may gathering friends and family together to witness our baby's passing.
