OUR NEWEST ESSAY
We Do Not Grieve in a VacuumOften, our writing about grief at RTF speaks to the need for more  understanding from those on the outside.  This newest essay addresses the fact that there is a responsibility for the bereaved to communicate your ongoing feelings and support needs as time moves on.

MISCARRIAGE MEMORIES
Visit the RTF Shop Memorial Jewelry
The images of a child seen in utero via ultrasound during early pregnancy are memories we are not likely to forget.  This memory is even more tender when your pregnancy ends in miscarriage.

When one woman experienced the loss of her own baby at 14 weeks, she was inspired to create these adorable charms to bring comfort to grieving parents whose only memory might be those pictures in ultrasound. 

RTF was given a quantity of these lapel pins (pictured) which are available at the RTF Shop.  But you simply must visit Miscarriage Memories to check out the other pieces in Sterling, Pewter, as well as charms and holiday ornaments.
