Tiny Footprints™ Miscarriage Keychain
Losing a baby during pregnancy or infancy is a life shattering event that affects the entire family. So often we focus on only the mother's pain while forgetting the father, whose grief is usually more masked and silent in an effort to be strong and keep everything together so that he can continue to support the mother.
Fathers grieve their lost babies too, they just may not tell us about it. And as much as you may think he has forgotten, he hasn't.
Although perfectly suitable for mothers or fathers who have lost a baby, I created this piece in response to enormous quantity of requests for something that would be suitable for fathers to carry with them to honor their babies and to keep their memories close to them.
Each keychain can be customised with a charm in the colour of your choice. Some parents prefer the stone of the intended due date, while others prefer the colour of the month of the baby's loss. Neither choice is wrong. If you are unsure, or are purchasing this as a gift, you may also choose a rose quartz heart bead to symbolize your healing heart, or no charm at all.
Each keychain is made of sterling silver chain, and a sterling silver tiny footprints heart and a charm crafted of sterling silver and swarovski crystal or rose quartz (please see our birthstone colour chart). The key holder itself is base metal. Each order will be shipped with an organza jewelry gift bag and your choice of a card that reads:
