Can anyone suggest words for a miscarriage ceremony?

Answer 1

A family member of mine went through this twice over the last few years. It appears some people haven't heard of such a ceremony, but I have.

Years ago I wrote this: (Maybe you could borrow a line or two if they seem at all right for you.)

FOR THE CHILD WHO WASN'T
MEANT TO BE

I embrace the toy dog that was given to me
for an unknown child
who wasn't meant to be.
I did not not know this would-be child,
my child, and yet I loved it
and long for yesterday
all the tomorrows we'll never share.

I reach out for this child -
my child - the child I will not know.
but my hand comes back empty
In its private destiny it held a color of hair
and a color of eyes,
but it was not to breathe life's riches.

There will be another child some day,
one who laughs and cries and asks too many whys,
but for today, anyway,
my mind still aches for the would-be child
who isn't here to love
and wasn't meant to be.

Note: You could replace the toy-dog line (it was a little yellow stuffed dog someone gave me) with something like: " This loss and sadness sent to me" or "Bless this tiny soul with peace - my unknown child...."

Answer 2

Sorry, never heard of such a ceremony.
You cry some, then you try again. Good luck

To Azaleaeight, your poem "For The Child Who Wasn't Meant To Be" was very moving and I for one will save a copy. My daughter had two miscarriages and I'm sure she had some of the same thoughts.
