Butterfly Babies: Grieving Miscarriage with Healing Jewelry October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Day
Miscarriage is a devastating experience for thousands of women every year. Women mourn their loss in a society that doesn't consider miscarriage a 'real' loss. Family and friends seek ways to offer condolence but find little bereavement information. Ms. Kimberly de Montbrun, owner of LaBelleDame.com, answers this need through her healing jewelry created to nurture the recovery process after a miscarriage, stillborn child, or young infant loss.
Prince Edward Island (PRWEB) October 4, 2005 -- Miscarriage is a devastating experience for thousands of women every year. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, approximately 15% of all recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage.
Unfortunately, women mourn their loss in a society that doesn't consider miscarriage a real" loss. Family and friends seek ways to offer condolence but find little bereavement information. Ms. Kimberly de Montbrun, owner of www.LaBelleDame.com, answers this need through her healing jewelry created to nurture the recovery process after a miscarriage, stillborn child, or young infant loss.
When I suffered a miscarriage, I needed something tangible to grasp, help me regain balance, and give me courage to grieve my lost baby," Ms. de Montbrun recounts. I couldn't find anything suitable." With her artistic talent and knowledge of gemstones, she created jewelry that captures the poignancy of a woman's intense emotional state and assists her as she recovers. Ms. de Montbrun also used her literary skill to write healing poetry symbolizing the lost child as a butterfly, and includes a poem with each purchase.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is a time to raise awareness about this type of loss and recognize that bereavement is a necessary, restorative process for a woman, a couple, and a family. For those searching for a way to reach a loved one who has experienced miscarriage or infant loss, Ms. de Montbrun suggests that naming the child and having a personal ceremony to mark the event are important in the healing process. Through my jewelry and poetry, I hope to touch the heart of every mother who has lost a baby, give comfort, and extend hope," Ms. de Montbrun states.
The symbolism of La Belle Dame's jewelry is more profound than the pink and blue ribbons of October's Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, responding more deeply to a grieving woman. The memorial jewelry and poetry feature the butterfly, a common symbol of transformation and the life-death cycle. The sterling silver memorial bracelet contains a butterfly pendant, a rose quartz stone symbolizing love and emotional healing, and a blue lace agate stone, offering protection against negativity.
During October, LaBelleDame.com will donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of its Miscarriage and Infant Loss Jewelry to Stillborn and Neonatal Death Support, Inc. (SANDS), a non-profit organization. Custom quality jewelry related to fertility or pregnancy is also available at www.LaBelleDame.com.
