This must be so stressful and not at all the exciting time people often describe pregnancy to be. As for remembering Aminadav and Naava, with Tu b'Shevat just having passed, what about having trees planted in a KKL forest? Or, I know some people who have donated to March of Dimes. Ultimately, though, this is about what you need to grieve. I like the ideas others have suggested above. Most of all -- just please be kind to yourself and allow yourself the space to mark the time however you need, whether it's just some time alone or with Y, or something more tangible.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594061750426441635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490179268765761075.post-49341818971102725802013-01-28T09:38:16.153-05:002013-01-28T09:38:16.153-05:00This is a great update and I'm happy to hear i...This is a great update and I'm happy to hear it - as far as the remembrance goes, I'm not sure of your level of observance or anything, but would you ever consider going to the mikvah? I know in some communities, Jewish women are using it to mark important spiritual occasions in addition to (or instead of) the halachic requirements... I've only immersed once, when I converted, but I found it a wonderful, calming experience.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456928849826400461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490179268765761075.post-1053576207988959012013-01-28T09:20:47.170-05:002013-01-28T09:20:47.170-05:00I have been keeping you in my prayers and will con...I have been keeping you in my prayers and will continue to do so.

This year as well, I did the same. You can possibly release balloons or maybe find a rock and paint it with their name. How about a gorgeous bouquet, and two angels in the center of your living room?St Elsewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074672268757885766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490179268765761075.post-6325269722014499702013-01-27T22:17:48.575-05:002013-01-27T22:17:48.575-05:00Aww, what great news, a girl!

I always wanted to commemurate my miscarriages by sending makeshift rafts (like, using bark and twigs) with candles on them out into the lake in the dark. Something so beautiful and moving about sending a light into the darkness. Hope you find something that works for you. And yes, pregnancy after loss is tough.Annie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851156767173316716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490179268765761075.post-73653385278358598252013-01-27T21:48:46.255-05:002013-01-27T21:48:46.255-05:00A girl!

Mainly I just thought about him and cried and I was traveling for business so I couldn't even be with my husband. But for their one year anniversary, my friends released light up balloons with messages written on them. And some people do those light up lanterns that they release. <br /><br />Congratulations on the baby girl!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490179268765761075.post-29287977029560123762013-01-27T07:45:23.455-05:002013-01-27T07:45:23.455-05:00Oh my gosh, congrats on your baby girl!

It all sounds so good, and I'm excited & hopeful for you!!<br />Hmm, could be some braxton hicks - I think you can get them earlier when you've been pregnant before. Could also be stretching and growing pains maybe?<br /><br />What about planting a tree or setting up a little memorial plaque in your yard or house? That way you have a place to honor them anytime you want right at home. Release balloons, light candles, say a special prayer or poem. Thinking of you as this anniversary comes. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
