Welcome to The Pool of Memories

The Pool of Memories contains Words and Images which were sent to us by people who have experienced pregnancy loss and the death of a baby.

Some submissions are written by people who have contacted us directly. Others use words written by someone else, but which have been found to be helpful whilst going through difficult times. It can be really helpful to read words or see images which have helped someone going through a similar experience to your own.

You are welcome to dip in, to see or read just a few of the memories here, or to share them all. Use the Pool of Memories as you find it most helpful.

Please remember that these memories are precious, and for that reason they must be treated with respect. Please do not use them inappropriately.

Poetry

Poetry

Poetry can help to unlock the emotions which can be experienced during a pregnancy loss and the death of a baby.

The Poetry here is a mixture of that written by those experiencing this, and also words written by others, which have been helpful to people experiencing loss.
Writing

Writing

Sometimes it is easier to find release from the difficult emotions which are involved with the loss of a baby in creative writing, which is not governed by rhythm and rhyme, in the way that poetry can be. There is a very fine line between poetry and creative writing, but we felt that the distinction is important to allow those who wish to write, but do not wish to write poetry or to tell their own deeply personal account can feel free to do so
Images

Images

Sights and smells can often act as powerful reminders of the sadness, the joy, the tears and smiles, and the emotions which are involved in the loss of a baby. This section of the Pool of Memories is dedicated to evoking, through medium other than words, some of the memories of precious babies.
Accounts

Accounts

This set of pages contains the stories of the lives, however short, of the babies who have played such an important part in our lives. By reading accounts of other people's experience of loss of a baby can help you to feel less alone in your bereavement. No one can feel your loss exactly as you can, but it can help to know that you are not alone in your loss.
