Since Ellie died, I take great comfort in ways to honour her, I wanted to share some of the ways we can be creative to honour them.
I know this doesn't make it any better and nothing will ever take this pain away but we must find ways to cope.
Creative Ways to Honour Our Babies
Honouring the memory of our babies in meaningful ways can bring comfort and a sense of connection.
1. Share Their Name in Public Spaces
When you're at a coffee shop or making a table reservation, share your baby's name. Hearing it called out in public spaces can be a heart-warming reminder of their presence. It's a small, yet powerful way to include them in your daily routine and keep their memory alive in the world around you.
2. Create Nature-Inspired Keepsakes
Write your baby's name in the sand at the beach, arrange twigs, leaves, or flowers to spell it out, and take a photo of this natural tribute. Use these photos as bookmarks or frame them as artwork.
3. Design a Memory Garden
Dedicate a special space in your garden or on your balcony to your baby. Plant flowers that bloom in their birth month or ones that hold special meaning to you. This living tribute can provide a place for reflection and a way to see your love grow and flourish over time.
4. Frame Meaningful Song Lyrics
Choose a song that makes you feel close to your baby and have the lyrics printed on a picture. Frame it and display it in your home. Every time you see it, you'll be reminded of the connection you feel through music and the special bond you share.
5. Wear Personalised Jewellery
Commission a piece of jewellery featuring your baby's birthstone or name. Whether it's a necklace, bracelet, or ring, wearing this piece can keep their memory close to your heart every day.
6. Get a Tribute Tattoo
A tattoo can be a deeply personal and permanent way to honour your baby. Choose a design that feels meaningful—whether it's their name, birthdate, or a symbol that represents them. This can be a powerful way to carry their memory with you wherever you go.
These creative and personal ways to honour your baby can help keep their memory alive in your everyday life. By incorporating these tributes into your routine and surroundings, you create a lasting and meaningful connection that celebrates their presence and the love you will always carry.
