Forever in
Our Hearts Infant Remembrance Album
"Turning a loss
into a life to remember"
“A
high quality, beautifully illustrated photo-journal album for
those who have experienced pregnancy loss or early infant death.
This 24-page album comes with an additional "album guide" with
further helps and ideas and is packaged in a matching gift box.
Pregnancy loss and early infant
death are often minimized in our culture. Clichés such as
"you're young- you'll have another baby" and "it was for the
best" do nothing to ease the tremendous pain and grief
associated with infant loss. This album gives permission to
grieve the loss of the child whose life was so brief. Through a
series of beautifully illustrated pages and accompanied by an
album guide which provides more ideas as to how to use the album
and how the grieving process works, families can honour and
remember the life of their precious child and receive healing.
The album is acid-free and lignin free to preserve pictures for
many, many years.”

Album Pictures
“The
Forever in Our Hearts Album is unique in its design. Rather than
being a blank album in which families would be expected to decide
how to use the pages, it gives direction on what could be included
through the use of a heading
on each of the pages. For those who don't feel very creative, this
is a big help.
More
importantly, we've provided an Album Guide that gives page-by-page
instruction as to how to use the album and thoughts about how to
navigate the difficult journey of grief. Grieving is a hard thing to
understand and it helps to know what to expect and how to best help
yourself through it.
The
album is approximately 5" x 7"and has a padded, embossed cover and
beautiful illustrations throughout by a very gifted artist named
Chris Garborg.”
The
following pages are from the album interiors. The excerpts are from
the album guide.
“If
you did choose a name for your baby, it is very important that this
baby gets that special name. Embrace that name with all your heart,
instead of 'saving it' for the next baby. When and if the time comes
to name the next baby, there will be another name just as precious
for that child.”
“Weeks or months after the loss of
your baby, you may experience unusual thoughts and strong feelings.
You may feel angry at people who don't understand what you're going
through or sad when you see another family with a new baby. 'How can
the world just go on as if everything is normal, when we've lost our
baby?' is a common feeling among grieving parents.”
“Who came to see you during this
difficult time? Who was there to cry with you, care for you, show
you a special kindness or understanding, or just be with you? This
is the place to honour those special people by placing pictures of
them or notes from them or by writing down your thoughts about
them.”
“Here are some ideas to help your family remember your little
one:
Name your baby.
