Baby Loss Gifts: Honoring Pregnancy Loss with Breastmilk Jewelry

Grieving the loss of an infant is truly heartbreaking. The bond that forms between a mother and baby, even during pregnancy, is incomparable. So when a mother experiences a loss, she may be overwhelmed by feelings of grief and sadness, as well as isolation, loneliness, or other challenging emotions.

As a family member or friend, it’s important to offer grieving mothers support in any way you can. While it may take time for them to accept help during this difficult period, it’s still important to make yourself available so that you can be there when they’re ready to begin moving forward.

Perhaps the most important thing you can provide is unconditional love, understanding, and support. If you’d also like to offer something more tangible, you can consider a meaningful gift for the grieving mother. While a thoughtful present isn’t going to take away the pain, it can show family members or friends that you care and will be there for them every step of the way.

Why Give a Baby Loss Gift

It can sometimes be hard to find the right words to say to someone who has suffered a loss. In those moments, offering a keepsake gift can be a simple gesture to help a grieving mother feel more at peace. While you can also help by taking care of the grocery shopping, making dinner, or taking her out for a night away from home, a small gift is an additional, low-pressure way to show your support. Below are several ways that a loss-of-baby gift can help a grieving mother.

Keep the Memories Alive

Regardless of how long a grieving mother spent with her child, whether it was solely during pregnancy or for a few years of her baby’s life, a keepsake can help her remember and cherish those precious moments together. 

Assist in the Healing Process

Not only can keepsakes hold enormous sentimental value, but they can sometimes also help with healing. For a mother who had only a short time with her little one, a unique memento can symbolize the profound love and irreplaceable bond they will always share.

Show Her She’s Not Alone

While a gift may not take away the pain of a loss, it can be a meaningful gesture that shows you care. A thoughtful token can help ease a grieving mother’s sense of isolation, and even help her find hope and peace during difficult times. 

Consider Baby Loss or Pregnancy Loss Jewelry 

At KeepsakeMom, we create beautiful, meaningful keepsakes in the form of breastmilk jewelry. Every piece of jewelry made from breast milk is a special memento that can be worn anywhere, keeping the memory of a lost baby always near and dear to the mother’s heart.

Though each one of our unique breastmilk pieces is created to help mothers celebrate the bond formed with their baby, it can also be used as a powerful symbol of love and healing. With that in mind, we’ve made it easy to customize any of our pieces of jewelry to help the mothers in your life feel cherished and loved.

How to Pick Pregnancy and Infant Loss Jewelry

Choosing the right baby or pregnancy loss keepsake for a grieving mother starts with understanding her style and preferences. That way, you’ll be able to choose a piece of jewelry that she’ll cherish and wear for years to come. Here are some tips on how to pick the right gift for the loss of a baby:

Choose a Simple Design

Because this is a gift of mourning as well as remembrance, it may be a good idea to keep things simple. Even with our simpler styles, however, KeepsakeMom has a variety of different shapes and designs to choose from, based on the type of jewelry you want to give. 

The Original breastmilk necklace, for example, is cut into a teardrop pendant and includes gold flakes for a beautiful, subtle touch. You can also choose a pear, circle, oval, heart, or cylinder shape—whether you stick with a pendant or choose any of our other jewelry options. 

Consider Colors for Awareness

All of our jewelry comes with customizable inclusions as well, including colors and tints that can be added directly to your breastmilk jewelry. Birth colors are always popular, but you may also want to choose colors that symbolize pregnancy and infant loss awareness, such as pink and blue.

Add Another Special Inclusion 

You can also add other inclusions to any piece of breastmilk jewelry, such as flakes, shimmers, and text. This is a simple way to personalize your gift and make it even more meaningful. If you want to customize your piece even further, we can also add locks of hair or baby prints to any of our jewelry made with breast milk.
