Sympathy (Miscarriage) Handkerchief Lilacs - Hand Embroidered

Description

Sometimes there just are no words. I think small handkerchiefs are thoughtful gifts to give to a grieving friend to let her know you care. I have stitched this delicate white cotton handkerchief with a vintage design of a sprig of lilac. This is a beautiful quality handkerchief with hand crochet lace running all around the sides.
I have personally suffered two miscarriages and still remember all the thoughtful cards and well wishes from friends. Many tears came with each loss. This small hanky can be used to dry tears and even packed away in a memory box.

~ Handkerchiefs can be sent to a grieving friend in lieu of flowers and last many years

~ Handkerchief measures 12.5 inches square

~ 100% cotton, hand crochet edge - beautiful and dainty

~ Handkerchief come to you washed, ironed, wrapped in cornflower blue tissue paper and tied with ribbon. It is boxed in a white handkerchief box with a touching poem about miscarriage. *Poem may be removed or substituted if desired. Please let me know if you have another you would like included.

This is the poem:

How do you love a person
who never got to be,
or try to envision a face
you never got to see?
How do you mourn the death of one
who never got to live.
When there's nothing to feel good about
and nothing to forgive?
I love you, my little baby,
my companion of the night.
Wandering through my lonely hours,
beautiful and bright.
What does it mean to die before
you ever were born,
to live the lovely night of life
and never see the dawn?
Ah! My little baby,
you lived like anyone!
Life's a burst of joy and pain.
And then like yours, it's done.
I love you, my little baby,
just as if you'd lived for years.
No more, no less, I think of you,
the Angel of my tears.
