After experiencing a pregnancy loss, many parents wonder how to honor the memory of their child.

You may want to mark your child’s estimated due date (EDD) or create other meaningful ways to remember them. Here are a few ideas that may help you navigate this difficult time:

Plant a tree or flowers
Watching something grow in memory of your child can bring comfort. Choose a plant, flower, or tree that holds meaning for you, and consider adding a small marker, stone, or token to honor your child’s EDD.

Wear a keepsake
Some parents find comfort in a tangible reminder. Jewelry or a tattoo featuring your child’s name, birthstone, or EDD can serve as a lasting tribute.

Create a memory box
A memory box gives you a space to honor your child, especially when there may have been no opportunity to say goodbye. Include items, mementos, or notes that feel significant.

Share Wandering Angels
Through the Wandering Angel Project, you can honor your child by sharing small acts of love in their memory. Each angel carries love, strength, peace, and protection, and may be kept or passed along to comfort someone else.

Make a donation to Through the Heart
A donation in your child’s memory ensures their impact is felt for years to come. Your gift helps provide support to other families experiencing pregnancy loss, and you can leave a dedication in memory of your child.

There is no right or wrong way to honor your child. Remembering and mourning is deeply personal, and it’s important to do what feels right for you and your family.
