• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How are you remembering your loss?

I want to do something in remembrance of our loss. We did not do anything when it happened due to things were so sudden & then I was sick for a few months afterwards. Do you ahve any kind of ornaments or figurines? It seems like there is not many places to find things to remember our losses.:sigh:

I pray for each of you!!!:prayer:

There's this silly figurine from a collectible series that I'm thinking about getting. It doesn't have a baby in it, but it has a mouse couple (the series is all mice) comforting one another.

I'm also thinking about getting an ornament for the tree. A silver angel or something.

I have to say, what I really want to do is make a donation to pro-life organization in memory of my baby. He gave me whole new insight into the issue. But a donation isn't really something I can hang onto for myself, though.

Awww that is neat! I think that is a great idea!!

I was thinking along the lines of an angel as well. I did find an ornament online that says "We remember" and has a little foot print that I thought was neat. And then there is a precious moment figurine that is absolutley adorable. If you or anyone want the sites I'll look them up & post them.

I like that idea of a donation as well.

((Hugs))

We set up a grave for ours with a beautiful headstone. We go every Sunday to visit. I also bought these bracelets that say Mommy to Angels. Hubby is buying me a necklace soon with their birthstones on it. He's suppose to get it for my birthday next month.

I'm so sorry, hun. That day is so hard to get through. Our twins' due date was July 11th and it was a hard day for me, but thank God for comforting me. I hope he will do the same for you guys:hug: . It's amazing to think that our babies are playing in Heaven now though, isn't it? I know that our babies had a wonderful Christmas spending it with Jesus himself.

Hey,

I lost my two year old daughter Stacia in 2002 and to remember her I made her an online memorial. Feel free to visit her at remembered-forever.org/stacia1 and please light a candle for her.

I also recieved this email the other day full of ways to remember lost loved ones, I will paste it here:

1) Create a memory box for your loved one containing any special items that you have which remind you of your loved one. Place notes in your memory box with special memories on them or things you would say to your loved one if they were still here.

2) Make a memorial quilt for your loved one with each square representing a special memory. You could even make it out of their old clothes so that every time you look at it, it will remind you of them.

3) Create an online memorial for your loved one and visit it often, lighting virtual candles and leaving tributes. Some memorial websites don't have these features so try and choose one which lets you light candles.

4) Write a letter to your lost loved one, tell them everything you are missing about them and everything that you learned from them. Tell them that you hope they are looking down on you from heaven.

5) On special occasions, such as birthdays or Christmas, buy a gift for your loved one and then donate it to someone who needs it, such as a homeless person. It will make their day as well as yours.

6) If you are hosting an event such as a wedding or christening, do something to remember your loved one at that special time, to show how much you wish they could be there with you. Perhaps light a candle or hold a few moments silence in their memory.

7) Create a new tradition in remembrance of your loved one. For example you could light a candle and listen to your loved one's favourite music on the 20th day of every month.

Hope this helps someone,

Love Denise xx

Awww goodness I pray for you to in that you guys will have a healthy pregnancy!:hug:

What is so weird is how I try to block it out like it never happened so I won't be all sad. Does anyone else do that?
