Bereaved Mother Creates Keepsake Jewelry to Acknowledge and Heal Baby-Infant Loss
Jewelry designer and bereaved mom, Susan Mosquera, announces the new My Forever Child pin and charm jewelry created to bring comfort and healing to those grieving the loss of a child through miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy and infant loss.
East Northport, NY - In 2002, Susan Mosquera was a young mother whose world was turned upside down when her third child died at birth from a complete placental abruption. Her own life was in jeopardy as well from the massive blood loss. After a long road of physical and emotional recovery, artisan Susan Mosquera is helping to comfort those mourning the loss of a child of any age through her poetry, personalized remembrance jewelry, sympathy gifts and memorial keepsakes available at her website, MyForeverChild.com
Each year in the United States, there are approximately 1 million pregnancies that end tragically in miscarriage or stillbirth and several thousand babies are lost in the newborn and infancy period. “The loss of a child at any age is devastating. The parents lose a piece of themselves, as well as their future hopes and dreams for that particular child,” says Susan Mosquera. “Nothing can replace the child and there is always a hole in the family’s hearts where the child used to be. Grieving parents want their child to be remembered, celebrated, not forgotten, or their death to be in vain.”
Miscarriage, stillbirth and pregnancy loss are largely unrecognized by others, since the baby did not live outside the womb. Nonetheless, the feelings of loss and sadness persist for the parents and they often grieve in silence. There are very few, if any, tangible mementos, so bereaved parents are left to search for or create their own keepsakes. However, finding items that are meaningful and appropriate can be difficult. In the past two years, Mrs. Mosquera, a GIA Graduate Gemologist and Silversmith, has helped over two thousand people memorialize a precious child with her unique line of handcrafted personalized bracelets, angel pins, baby feet charms, butterfly necklaces, bookmarks, engraved key chains, and custom handprint and footprint pendants. Many of the pieces come with cards explaining the symbolic nature of the charms and meaning of the gemstones and birthstones used. “Customers tell me that the jewelry is exactly what they were looking for and they fall in love with the poems and symbolism. They desire a special keepsake of the child that other’s didn’t see, but was very real to them. The memorial jewelry helps them to feel closer to the babies that are no longer with them physically, but live within their hearts”, states Mosquera. “Many tell me that they never take the piece off. That’s a huge compliment to me.”
In her latest endeavor, Susan Mosquera is raising awareness of baby loss on a larger scale with her exclusive My Forever Child lapel pins and charms. “I realized the need for a universal symbol to show that the person wearing it is honoring a child in their heart, that has gone too soon. Simply the act of putting on the pin or charm and acknowledging the child is part of the healing process”, explains Mrs. Mosquera. She designed the pin and charm with understated elegance. “The circle shape of the pin is unisex, so fathers, grandfathers, and siblings of the child can feel comfortable wearing it.” Both styles are available in silver tone and gold plated.
The pins and charms come with an archival safe keepsake card of the My Forever Child poem, which explains the symbolic elements of the design:
“…I’ve adored you from the start, and your little footprints touched my heart. A single teardrop represents the millions I have cried, my life never the same since you died. Although we are apart, you are always in my heart. Thoughts of you make me smile, you will always be My Forever Child.”
For each My Forever Child pin or charm purchased at retail price through MyForeverChild.com, Susan Mosquera will donate one to a memory box program for newly bereaved parents. “The mother and father leave the hospital with empty arms and broken hearts. I want them to have something tangible that they can wear immediately to honor and cherish their baby’s brief life. Then the journey of grief and healing can begin.”
