I will honor your baby…

Maria Gabriella Bassinet

Loss: 💫 💫For me, I am honored when people reach out to me, it humbles me that they reach out, I am happy that they do because losing a child is not a journey to take on your own.  ❣️

The complete package 💫💛❣️

Aside from all the emotions I feel with the couples, it still saddens me that this kind of support is needed. I am happy to offer it  💛

Last week I supported two losses virtually.

These are some of the things I make for parents experiencing loss in the early weeks up to 25weeks because normally then, they wouldn’t fit in an outfit, so I make burial suits and a heart keepsake for the parents to keep and sometimes a burial bassinet too (Maria Gabriella bassinet 💛)  ❣️

A baby bassinet that she can go with, a baby blanket so you can wrap her in love and a cute little burial gown so she can go decent too. A keepsake for mama is usually a heart that she can keep with her for always 💛❣️

Love hard this weekend. Check up on your friends who have experienced loss of any kind. Mention their babies by name to keep their memories alive.  💔And I am sending a virtual hug to the parents who have and are experiencing this grief right now 💫💛❣️💐

I have had requests from family, friends and nurses alike who gifted some of the bassinets out too. This one was from a friend, whose friend lost twin rainbows 💫and requested a keepsake

Let me know in advance if you need these so I can make them in time. I have been asked several times but, I don’t have a pattern, I just found myself making one and have continued ever since
