Mother’s Day Gift Ideas After Pregnancy and Infant Loss

I Had a Miscarriage: A Memoir, A Movement, by Jessica Zucker, PhD, is a brave, validating companion for anyone experiencing pregnancy or infant loss. Written by a psychologist who experienced her own miscarriage, this book blends personal narrative and clinical insight in a way that makes readers feel seen rather than silenced. It gently challenges the stigma surrounding reproductive grief and creates space for every messy, unspoken part of loss. Whether you're gifting it to someone you love or keeping it close for yourself, this book offers the kind of permission and presence that grieving parents need most.

Making a donation in your baby’s name turns grief into meaningful action. Many parents find comfort in knowing that their loss can help others who are navigating similar pain. Organizations like Star Legacy Foundation work tirelessly to support families experiencing pregnancy loss. By providing vital resources and funding research to prevent future losses, these causes create a lasting legacy that you can be a part of.

The best thing my mother-in-law did after my miscarriage was to give us an artificial wreath. The wilting of flower bouquets can serve as a reminder of death. Instead, gift something that outlasts the hard seasons. This eucalyptus wreath can hang on a front door, a nursery that never got filled, or a quiet space in their home. It’s so much more than decor.

Acknowledging that a woman is still a mother after a loss is an important act of validation. The “Still Born, Still a Mother” sweatshirt serves as a gentle reminder that even though a child may not be physically present, a mother’s love and identity remain. Available in three colors, it's a cozy way to provide comfort for her navigating a complicated journey. The crewneck cut and minimalistic design can be worn as a quiet statement or a personal symbol that she is still a mother, regardless of the circumstances.

When the grief feels too heavy to put into words, The Baby Loss Guide offers a lifeline. This compassionate book by Zoë Clark-Coates walks parents through the raw emotions of baby loss, offering guidance, solace, and practical advice. With chapters on the conflicting feelings within grief, its pages reassure you that healing, however slow, is possible.

A chemical pregnancy can leave parents with few physical reminders, but a small keepsake box provides a beautiful space to hold onto what remains. Customize the lid with a family photo, a symbolic image, or the picture of a positive pregnancy test. Whether the box holds a pregnancy test cap or a small memento, it serves as a way to honor the fleeting yet significant connection.

Featuring two birthstones, this delicate piece allows parents to keep a tangible connection to their child. The necklace's subtle design provides a personal tribute without drawing unwanted attention, which may be helpful to parents who made the heartbreaking decision to end a wanted pregnancy for medical reasons. In a world that doesn't know how to acknowledge termination for medical reasons (TFMR), this necklace offers a way to carry their baby's memory with dignity. Wearing such a piece can serve as a daily remembrance of a baby lost too soon.

As a mother facing the weight of loss, moving forward can feel like an impossible task. Innerwell’s personalized resources like mood tracking and guided meditations compliment steady steps taken in therapy. With options for trauma-informed care, such as eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), somatic therapy, or ketamine-assisted therapy, Innerwell is the support system you need to heal without feeling rushed or forced.

Sometimes the best way to escape from grief — if only for a moment — is through a story. An Audible subscription grants you access to a vast library of audiobooks, podcasts, and exclusive content. Parents can lose themselves in a different world whether they’re seeking inspiration, laughter, or simply a mental break from reality. With the ability to listen on the go, it’s a coping strategy you can access anywhere.

Balancing raw honesty with biblical comfort, this devotional supports emotional and spiritual healing without forcing silver linings. It doesn’t offer clichés or easy answers. Instead, it reminds her that God is near to her in her sorrow.

After pregnancy or infant loss, even the smallest tasks, like figuring out dinner, can feel impossible. A gift like Sunbasket removes the burden of meal planning and cooking. For grieving parents, this is more than a convenience — it’s a reminder that they’re cared for. It gives them one less thing to manage during a time when survival is enough.

Even on Mother’s Day, dads mourning a pregnancy loss are overlooked.
