Recently, I reviewed my will. Not the most cheery of subjects, I grant you, and something that I’ve been putting off for several years, but I now have that glow of satisfaction that everything is in order.

I have chosen to remember The Miscarriage Association in my will, as a way of remembering my children who died before they were born. After all, in my will I’m remembering my children who were born and who I pray will be living when I die. So it seems logical to also remember the babies who were not born, and what better way than to contribute to the long-term future of The M.A.? Of course, I hope very much that it will be many years before The M.A. benefits from my generosity, but I’m sure that whenever it is, they will be able to put the money to good use.

If you are reviewing your will, perhaps you might also like to remember The M.A. as a way of showing that your miscarried babies have never been forgotten.
