Miscarried Long Ago

I miscarried a long time ago.

Losing a baby is something you never forget about. When I went back to work after my miscarriage, many people, men and women, told me stories about miscarriages from as far back as 40 years ago. And they still remembered every detail and most of them still had mementos such as baby outfits that were never worn or hospital ID bracelets.
: It may be even harder for you now, knowing that medical technology has changed and the baby you lost might have been saved if only he or she was born now.
: Remember, it is never too late to memorialize your baby. Plant a tree, have an engraved plate mounted somewhere, donate money in your baby's name. And yes, you can still name your baby, even decades after the fact. Don't let anyone discourage you.
: Best of all, help other women who are dealing with a current miscarriage. Get on a bulletin board and answer questions. You have a lot of experience and can tell them what they can expect over time.
: Take care of yourself. Grief may get easier, but it never truly ends.
