creating memories for bereaved families
"I'm sorry. His heart has stopped beating."
For the woman who has just heard these words, life will never be the same. Shock and confusion first consume her only to be followed by an overwhelming sense of disbelief. The fullness of her loss--and her pain--have yet to be revealed to her consciousness.
How could this be? What about her plans for his life? Why has this happened? Was it something that she did?
In a state of shock and helplessness, she must then endure the pain and agony of labor. Under normal circumstances she would have been rewarded with the miracle of a new life, but for her there is no recompense. Instead the pain is endured with the realization that a greater pain
awaits her when it is over--the reality that she has brought forth death rather than life. This is her reality.
Sorrow and disbelief attempt to rob her of any time spent with her lifeless baby, but she looks to her nurse for guidance in her uncertainty. She's unsure of what will help her through her grief in the coming months--all she knows is the pain she feels in that moment.
If, by yet another measure of misfortune, she is not encouraged to create memories with her baby, those moments will be lost forever; the opportunity never to be afforded to her again. It will be the second tragic loss that she experiences that day.
But if she has a nurse or a midwife that will support her grief and encourage her to create special moments with her baby, and these moments are captured for her,
memories for families experiencing the loss of an infant, no matter how early the loss. In fact, our software has been used with infants as early as 16 weeks gestation.

she will have been given a gift far greater than what money can buy. She will have a tangible demonstration of her baby's existence, confirmation of why she grieves so deeply, and a way to share her baby with the ones she loves; she will have been given the gift of treasured memories. And unbeknownst to her, in a few short weeks she will find that the longing in her heart is not to forget, but rather to remember...and now she can.
