Creating Memories
We would just like to share a few ideas and things that have helped us with our journey and in the way we remember our
children.
Memorial Service
Healing comes through many ways and one of them remembering your child. There are many ways to honor the life of your
baby. A ceremony is a beautiful way to do this, and not only is it a way for you to say goodbye and it makes your baby real to
other people. A balloon release is a beautiful, symbolic way to send off a baby to heaven.
We held a memorial service for our son Jacob on his 1st anniversary. I was held at a church hall and I had organized a harpist
and a piper to play at different times during the service. We had balloons released and lighting of candles to remember the
children that had gone before us. We also had a display of tiny treasures and photos of Jacob and the family that others may
not have seen before. And we provided lunch for about 100 people.
A memorial service can be held at a garden, park, beach…any place that means a lot to you.
You could invite any number of people to attend this special day. You can have food and drinks but its not a must.
Releasing of Butterflies or doves can also be organized.
Birthdays - On birthdays we lights a candle in remembrance of our child. For Jacob's birthday we invite all the children that grew
up with Jacob in hospitals...ect and we have a day of celebration. Last year we held it at a local farm.
If you would like a hand with your memorial service or birthday celebration (free of charge of-course) please feel free to contact
us.
Memorial Garden
I love creating gardens in memories of the little ones. You can choose the type of flowers that you like to go into the garden.
Feel free to choose a color theme. I love creating bright colored gardens as it represents life ad celebration.
I have created my garden with a pond and a little fountain. My entrance has pots with little ornaments, a bird bath and solar
lights.
Pot gardens are as good.
Gardens are good to sit and read or meditate on the Word of God
and remember your child in a positive manner.
Prayer / Quiet Room
I am so much looking forward to creating a room just
for me to spend time with God.
I could be dressed up with Feminine things such as
flowers, pictures and art work. Make it warm and light
color. I love the light colors…such as lime green, light blue, light pink, peach. I rocking chair or a single (twin) bed with a little
side table, windows dressed with beautiful curtain. You can also have a shelf or display cabinet of your favorite things and
things that remind you of your child.
A Cabinet of Tiny Treasures
We have a very special display cabinet that displays all the very special things that Jacob cherished and things have been
added to remind us of our other children. We have pictures, candles give to us by others, finger/feet printed in clay, birth
announcement, favorite music CD, first baby Bible, toys, ….and lots more.
We have this in our living room and it’s a reminder to others that we have these children and they are not to be forgotten.
Fresh Cut Flowers
Any time of the year, you will find a vase of fresh orchids on our dinning table.
I have done this since the death of our son Jacob. To me it represents life
and celebration.
Plant Trees
Many people plant a tree or bulbs as a reminder of the wonder of their baby.
Sponsor A Child
You can sponsor a child that is less fortunate in the memory of your child you will be able to help another child grow and be
blessed. You can sponsor a child or more through Compassion or World Vision. Please contact us for more information.
Photo Album or Scrapbook
A special album that becomes a tangible memorial to your baby
is a wonderful and healing way to remember.
We hope and pray that in the midst of pain you will find time to
enjoy the beauty of your child left behind.
If you have any suggestions and ideas, please feel free to send an e-mail.
