My brother and his fiancee lost their baby today. She was born 19 weeks early. I usually cross stitch birth records for the kids, but that doesn't seem quite right for this occasion. I'm looking for a pattern with an angel or something specifically for the loss of a baby. I've been looking a little bit on the net, but I'm not having much luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? It can be a kit or just a pattern. It doesn't have to be free, of course.
Thank you all so much!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I love cross stitch too, but my eyes are failing.
If you are an avid cross stitcher, you could blend a couple of patterns.
An angel, a lamb, a baby shepherd.
Here is a link that I found.
It's hard to know what to say or do in these situations.
Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.

"Those we have held in our arms for a little while we hold in our hearts forever." this is a quote i had gotten on a sterling silver angel that hung in our house for when we loss our daughter. It was hard to reply to this post, even though i'm on my 4th pregnancy you'll never forget something like that. Perhaps this quote may work with some angel holding a baby or some of the other suggestions. What you're doing is great. I'll keep them in my prayers
I am so sorry for your loss. I also cross stitch birth records for my family.
I found a pattern for you. They show it made into a pillow and that might be nice for them to have on their couch or their bed every day.
Here is a pattern that says "Your angel is with you"

Hello Shaun, I am so sorry for the loss of their little one. I know that in our family this has happened twice with different families and the parents have hung a picture of a Angel holding the baby in her arms. I believe they got the pattern from a Michaels Store and just made adjustments to it to make room for the baby.
You might try going to a speciality shop of threads and yarns and see if they can help youfind something.
I do know that this will help in the healing and grief process so that they know that the child is loved and remembered by all of the family and not just them.
You are going to be a real blessing for doing this for them.
God Bless,
Glenda
So sorry to hear this!

So so sorry for your family's loss! When I lost our baby, my sister gave me a figurine that is precious moments as a baby sleeping on a cloud. I loved it so much and it is now over my 2 year old's bed as her little guardian angel older brother watches over her.
I found a stitch pattern similar. Here's the link:

I had a baby who died at three months. We never got to celebrate a Christmas with her. One of my friends cross stitched an ornament with each of our names, including baby Lydia. I think it's in the shape of a bell. I love that ornament because it's the only "Baby's first Christmas ornament" I have for her and helps include her in our Christmas every year.
