A dear friend delivered a stillborn baby girl on Friday. I never want to make cards like this again - but I am pleased with how beautifully they turned out, and this one is my favourite. I made five different cards - this one is for Baby Claire from my two little boys. I adapted the saying from a book called "We were going to have a baby but we had an angel instead" and printed it from the computer.

My heart goes out to your friend at what should have been such a happy time for her. Your card is beautiful, and the sentiment is perfect, i hope it brings comfort to your friend.

I was so sad to see more cards for baby Claire. I'm so incredibly sad. all of your cards are warm and caring. Here's the note I left on Ardyth's card:
A couple of years ago, I hostessed a challenge making sympathy cards for the loss of a child or infant, a miscarriage, or a stillborn baby. My sister and I have had too many losses over the years. We now support March of Dimes. And as a special ed teacher and a parent of a special needs child, I'm in a community/network of people that I occasionally need a card like yours. My heart goes out to your friend and her family. Hopefully she has lots of support for awhile with concrete things like grocery shopping, cleaning or even laundry. Remember her at all the firsts such as Christmas, Mother's Day, and the date of her loss. Sorry for rambling. TFS

All your cards are very sweet and touching. I love the angel and sentiment - very nice. I had a friend that wore an angel pendant in rememberance of the little girl she miscarrried her first pregnancy.
