While listening to Catholic Radio recently I heard about this relatively new Shrine of the Holy Innocents, which is located next to the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy in Massachusetts. This shrine has been created for the purpose of having a place to remember children lost through abortion, miscarriage and stillbirth. You can create a unique memorial for a lost child by going here and choosing an option that would fit your family.
There are also many spiritual benefits to creating a memorial for your lost baby as well:
Spiritual Benefits: All children memorialized at the shrine and their families will be remembered daily in the Rosary for Life, in the Holy Mass, and during the Hour of Great Mercy at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy and in special Masses on December 12 (the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe), December 28 (the Feast of the Holy Innocents), and on the third Saturday in July.
What a wonderful idea, and one that I think brings a certain sense of closer to it all.
