66 Thoughtful Miscarriage Care Package Ideas To Help Heal

The sorrow that accompanies a miscarriage can be devastating. A miscarriage can occur at any time during a pregnancy, but it is always difficult to bear.

A miscarriage may happen near the beginning of the pregnancy but it can also occur part-way through the nine months or even at the end.

Miscarriages can happen for any number of reasons. Sometimes the fetus is unhealthy and aborts itself. 

The age of the mother may be a risk factor, as women over the age of 35 experience a higher risk of miscarriage.

The use of alcohol, illegal drugs, smoking, and caffeine can also contribute to the loss of the fetus. Even extreme stress can play a role in misscarriage.

Whatever the reasons, the loss of a potential life can be heart-rending and take many months, even years, to recover from.

It can be difficult to know how to help grieving parents when a miscarriage occurs. In this article I look at ideas for care packages. 

Special Gift Ideas For Miscarriage

We tend to think of gifts to celebrate an event or a milestone but they can also give comfort and solace to someone who is suffering.

Often, when someone is hurting, we send flowers. The hope is that the beauty of the flowers will bring a ray of sunshine into the darkness of loss.

Flowers can be given at any time and are easily sent through a florist. Many other gift ideas can also be suitable at a time when you wish to show your sympathy. 

Be clear with your florist about the reason for the flowers as they will be able to put together a bouquet that is appropriate in flower choice and color.

Helping a person or a family deal with their loss can come in the form of a gift that helps them work through it.

A remembrance angel or a memorial baby book provides a way for people to think through what has happened and cherish the memory of a life that might have been.

Read through the list that follows for more thoughtful gifts for someone you know who has gone through the pain of a miscarriage.

Pregnancy Loss Package Inclusives

Sensitivity is number one when you are thinking about what to include in a care package to someone who has lost a baby.

If you are very close to the person, you will know what they like as far as scents and brands for soaps and creams.

If you do not have that kind of knowledge, it’s better to play it safe and go with unscented items.

A remembrance blanket is a wonderful gift. It provides warmth and comfort when it is needed at this very difficult time.

Purchase a blanket in a neutral shade such as cream, beige, or gray. Bright colors are unsuitable at a time of loss. Think soft, gentle shades.

Blankets and throws are available in different sizes. Be sure to purchase one that is large enough for the person to wrap around themselves and snuggle into.

Condolence gift sets are available for purchase or you can put together your own which allows you to personalize the items. 

There are animal symbols of remembrance and love for infants such as a butterfly which can make a thoughtful gift on a gold or silver chain, or as an ornament.

Items To Gift Someone Dealing With Miscarriage

Considerations for gifts at a very difficult time should be based on the family’s needs. Who is the gift for? Is it for the mother or for both parents? Do you want to include a gift for children in the family?

A piece of thoughtful jewelry can be meaningful and provide a lasting keepsake as well. Something small and sweet is suitable.

Care items are often appreciated and might include special bath salts to soothe and calm.

If you know the person drinks tea, a special calming tea is thoughtful.

Often, in the case of a miscarriage, there is much support given to the mother in particular, but the father may also need support and care.
