Our Memory Boxes

We were provided with an empty memory box by the midwife immediately after Abbie’s delivery. She took hand and footprints and a lock of Abbie’s hair as keepsakes for us. We had planned to buy a memory box after we had left hospital, but this removed the emotional trauma of searching for one at a time when we were consumed with grief.  For this we were extremely grateful.

From our experiences following Abbie’s death and the keepsakes we bought that gave us comfort that now make up Abbie’s memory box, and by researching similar projects in other areas of the country, we have put together a box of keepsakes and ideas that we hope will help parents who find themselves in this situation.  Our memory boxes (pink memory box for girls and blue memory box for boys) include the following:

We also provide ‘Early Loss Memory Boxes’ which include similar content to the memory boxes above, but are smaller boxes and have smaller teddies and blankets inside.

We hope this small gift to parents will provide them with some comfort at this devastating time.
