There is probably nothing in the world more tragic than the loss of a child, no matter what their age.  From the moment they know they're pregnant, women and even men get very attached to that life inside of them, and of course once the child has been born it is probably the worst thing in the world to have them leave this world.  As painful as it may be, some have found it actually helps their grieving process to create a wonderful scrapbook remembrance for that child.  Here are some simple scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child that you might consider if this is your situation.

For one thing you might want to consider remembering that child during the happiest times; if you've lost the child due to illness or a tragic accident, having mementos of their illness or how they died may not be the best idea.  Better scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child include choosing photos and mementos of happier times.  What about vacation pictures or those of when the family is all together?  By using these scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child you're much less likely to relive all your pain every time you open your scrapbook and are going to instead be reminded of what joy you felt when the child was with you. 

It's also good to actually celebrate that child's life rather than dwell on the illness or sad part of it.  For scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child consider what things they enjoyed doing, whether it was a particular sport or hobby.  Did they have a favorite movie they loved or sports hero?  Use photos of that person or other mementos from these things - make it a basketball themed book, and so on.

For scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child through a miscarriage, you can still celebrate the life of the child that you felt you were going to have.  Include some poetry that describes your feelings about your loss and that talks about how much you loved that child, even though it never made it into the world.  Remember, when using scrapbooking ideas when you've lost a child this isn't about how anyone else feels about your situation but rather is a way for you to celebrate that child's life, or potential for life, and to mourn your own loss as well.
