    Miscarriage Care Package Considerations

    It is so hard to watch a friend or loved one experience the grief of pregnancy loss. You may find yourself wanting to offer support, but unsure of what to say. Or maybe you want to show a friend that you’re thinking of her in this difficult time, but you aren’t nearby to sit with her.

    Sending a miscarriage care package is a beautiful way to show love and support for someone during a time of loss. There are truly options perfect for anyone, including a couple of non-profits offering free miscarriage care packages.

    I’ve rounded up 18 of the best miscarriage care package options out there to help you find the perfect way to show your friend or loved one you care. You may also want to share this article on self-care during miscarriage if you think it would be helpful.

    Here are a few things to keep in mind as you select a miscarriage gift box for your friend:

    • Budget – Don’t feel like you have to spend outside of your comfort zone to show your love and support. A handwritten note with kind words can be just as meaningful as a fancy gift basket. Below, you’ll find free care packages, those in the $25-$30 range, and pricier ones, depending on what you’re looking for.
    • Resources & Comfort – In general, the items in miscarriage care packages fall into two different categories – resources and comfort. Some care packages include resources like a book about grief or healing from miscarriage, a journal, or information on different pregnancy loss support organizations available to help. Other miscarriage care packages stick to comfort items like cozy tea, a soft blanket, etc. Think about what would be the most helpful for your loved one.
    • Religious Aspects – Some miscarriage care packages include religious aspects such as scripture cards relating to grief. Think about whether this is something your friend would appreciate.
