    What a thoughtful & kind thing for you to do. It's so sad that they are needed at all but I'm but I'm sure the parents get comfort from your kindness. Bless you for that.

    This is so touching, but sad, how thoughtful of each one to do such a loving memory blanket.

    God bless you for what you are doing. When my sister delivered a stilborn child (50+ years ago) she never got to see or touch that baby she had loved and nurtured for 9 months. She was whisked away and.... When my granddaughter gave birth at 20 or 21 weeks the baby lived for 2 hours but she was held and loved. I stayed up all night to make her a dress and bonnet and she was buried in a special section of a local Catholic cemetery. What you are doing gives those grieving parents a tangible tribute to their loss. Thank you for doing this-though sad, it is truly a special thing to do for others.

    I know the parents appreciate these. Couple ladies from the hospital auxiliaries donate these.

    What a great service you are involved in. I make a lot of charity things but I stay away from anything that is for a deceased child. I just can't handle it emotionally but God bless you for what you are doing.

    My quilting group calls them fetal demise blankets. We crochet, knit, and/or make them of flannels and decorate with lace and bows, etc. and give them to the local hospitals for them to use as necessary. Some of our ladies don't participate but as someone who lost more than one baby I want to provide something like this for those births or stillbirths where nothing else is the right size. It's a small thing but appreciated by grief-stricken parents.
