OT: Local Scrapbook Event

I received a gorgeous handmade card/invite in the mail today. As you are all aware last December we lost our 45 day old son Dylan. The childrens Hospital is holding a memorial event on 3 days. You will go and make a scrapbook page in memory of the child that you lost. All of the pages will be put in an album and put on display each year at a memorial event. How exciting! They provide all the supplies all you bring is the pictures and your memories. I thought this was a neat idea. Thought I would share.

How very thoughtful! I am sure that you will make a beutiful page for your angel baby!

Oh that is truly wonderful for the hospital to hold such a touching event. With all the pages you have done already you're going to have a wonderful time making something truly special.

This is a wonderful way to memorialize a child. I lost two babies (in utero) but I can't even imagine the pain of losing a baby after 45 days. :*( I'm glad you have found a way to help you deal with the grief and maybe find closure to some of the pain I'm sure you still must feel. My hospital has a program where they offer memorials and things similar to this to grieving parents/families, and it really helped me a lot when I was in that place.

Thank you for the suggestion. A young couple from my church just had a baby a few days ago born with multiple problems (unexpected) and he died last night--she sent pictures a few days ago, if I can find the courage I will try to make a memorial page for them with your suggestion.

God bless you, Carolyne in TX

That is such a thoughtful idea, Chrissy! We all know that scrapbooking is therapeutic and it seems that others know this as well. It sounds like a great get together. Please share it with us if you are able.

That's awesome that they are doing that.

Oh how wonderful Chrissy! With all the adorable layouts you've done of Dylan, I know you'll make a spectacular layout for this memorial album. (And maybe even be able to meet some new scrapbooking friends!)

Chrissy I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my son Jesse when he was 10 weeks old. What a wonderful thing for the hospital to be holding. I've never heard of anyone doing that before.

Chrissy it sounds like a wonderful event. I think scrapbook pages are a great way to memorialize your son.
