Gift Ideas for Grieving Families

This shop is run by a lovely group of stay-at-home moms that primarily specializes in hand-drawn silhouettes. But they also have a "Remembrance Collection" where you can get hand drawn copies of baby's footprints, handprints, ultrasound photo, or name in a beautiful locket, coin, or ornament. My remembrance locket of my son's footprints is one of my most prized pieces of jewelry and I love wearing it close to my heart. This would make a great gift for others or a beautiful way to honor your own child.

This shop offers thoughtfully curated gift boxes designed to nourish the heart after loss. They have boxes specifically for bereaved mothers, or you can create your own box. 

I was gifted the "I will Sustain You" gift box by a dear friend and I absolutely love drinking out of my mug and being reminded of the Lord's faithfulness in sustaining me through some of the darkest days of my life. 

This is another company we discovered after being gifted a box after the loss of our son. They offer delicious soup and other comforting foods and care packages sent in beautiful packaging that can be reused as memory/keepsake boxes. It also comes with a beautiful soup ladle to keep.

This is a great option if you'd like to provide a meal for a friend or loved one but don't live close enough to do so. The fact that a friend across the country sent us a meal that I didn't have to prepare or go buy was a huge blessing!

This wonderful little shop offers a beautiful selection of thoughtful, comforting gifts for those grieving the loss of a child through death, stillbirth, and miscarriage. 

They also have a "Heavenly Birthday" list where they can share your little one's name on their birthday so others can pray for your family and honor your baby alongside you on that special and heartbreaking day. There's also an infertility prayer list and lots of encouragement and connection via their instagram page. Look them up if you'd like to connect with other loss mama's!

There are many different personalized frame options to choose from on Etsy and similar websites. 

This is the frame we got to honor our second baby, and it would make a beautiful gift for other loss moms (and dads) in your life.

I recently discovered this shop through a friend, and it is just the sweetest idea. They hand sew Jasper Foxes and stuff them to match the birth weight of a child lost due to stillbirth, infant loss, and miscarriage.

This family knows what it feels like to walk out of a hospital without a baby. Their goal is to fill the arms of mothers who have lost their children one way or another, with a Jasper Fox that weighs the same as their child. 

Another beautiful and personable way to honor our sweet babies. You can include all children (those here on earth as well as those in Heaven) with their birth stones and initials. There's something special about seeing all siblings represented together.

My dear sister-in-law ordered these for our babies and I can't wait to display them on our Christmas tree each year. 

The holidays can be hard as we miss our little ones and this is a beautiful way to include them in our celebrations and traditions.

A nice leather journal and pens would make a great gift. Journaling and writing out prayers of lament, your honest feelings of pain, and your memories and the story of your child can be so helpful in processing the loss. It will be a treasure to look back on in the years ahead as you recall how the Lord carried you through this season.

This is a great idea for the Dad's, as they can sometimes get overlooked in the loss of a child, and it's easy to forget that they are also suffering.

Treasured pieces designed to bring hope & healing.
Handcrafted with broken, waiting & hopeful hearts in mind.

Ruth Chou Simons has so many beautiful prints and gifts to choose from!

"Little Things Studio brings beauty and truth to the special spaces in your life through art prints, calendars, cards and bookmarks. Mississippi-born and Nashville-based artist Kate Whitley weaves word and image with lush floral designs, vibrant and vintage color schemes and lovely hand-lettering of hymns, songs and quotes."

This may be a good gift for a mom whose baby was born sleeping. It has been a sweet reminder for other moms, that even though their baby is no longer here, they will always be their Mommy. 

The enclosed card reads, ”So loved, so very loved.” 

This set is from The Daily Grace Co. and includes 12 verse cards plus a cover card with verses to bring comfort during grief.
