There are few experiences more heartbreaking than the death of an infant through miscarriage, infant death or stillbirth. Threads of Love provides hospitals with a packet that includes a bonnet/cap, burial gown and blanket for the baby to be dressed in along with a comforting poem. Packets are all lovingly made by volunteers.

I am thrilled to help with this blessed service. We lost a precious grandson and were comforted beyond measure with donated burial clothing. His mother dressed him and we were able to cuddle him for the first time immediately following his passing. It is a treasured memory.
