Baby Loss Memorial Grief Journal With Pen

This A5 personalised in loving memory, memorial footprint journal is a thoughtful heartfelt condolences/sympathy gift for someone, offering a space to write to a precious son or daughter following loss. This is also a precious journal keepsake if you are looking for a safe place to help with releasing your own grief.

Hand and Footprints
This design uses some stock footprints, however, if you have your baby's actual ink/paint footprints and handprints from the hospital, I would love to add these to the front of a journal for you. Please take a look at this listing here

The front of the baby memorial journal:

Your chosen text here (e.g name, date of birth, short message - see images)

All of the things
I wish I could
tell you

The text inside the cover reads:

Forever in your heart

I am the gentle breeze upon your face,
the twinkle in the stars.
I am the sudden ray of sunshine,
that warms your broken heart.

(Poem © Lisa Clarke)

I wrote the poem above many years ago in memory of my daughter who was stillborn the day after my due date. They say that grief is love with nowhere to go. Having somewhere to write to your baby, your thoughts over time and journal your grief journey can be very cathartic. Looking back, it can help you to realise both how far you’ve come, and also the new room you’ve made in your heart to house that grief (love). They will never be forgotten and will always be held so very closely in your heart.

Can I change the poem inside to be special to me?
Yes, absolutely! You are more than welcome to have a different poem or text inside that is personal to you. You can also choose to have nothing at all on the inside cover. Just let me know in the personalisation box. The maximum character count for your own text is 350 (including spaces).

How is the A5 notebook personalised?
You can choose to have the outside cover personalised in silver, gold, black foil, or opt for engraved (turquoise colour can be engraved only). 

Pens
Each personalised baby loss grief notebook comes with a pen that complements your chosen notebook colour with either a silver or gold trim.

How quickly can I expect to receive my notebook after ordering?
You can check our current waiting times on our postage information page here.

How will my notebook arrive?
Your personalised baby memorial notebook will arrive in a lovely presentation envelope. This is great for giving as a thoughtful gift, but also good for keeping a notebook safe going forward.

Are the pages inside the personalised notebook blank?
Our personalised baby memorial journals are blank with lined pages ready to be filled with letters and thoughts to a precious baby. If you are looking for a more structured grief journal with prompts to help, you can find our guided grief journal here.

For my journals that are blank inside, I always include a bookmark that links to a page with grief writing prompts and this includes ones especially following the loss of a baby.
