FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HALO Miscarriage Memorial Sheboygan , Wis. — Families who have experienced a miscarriage during a pregnancy of less than 20 weeks are invited to the HALO Miscarriage Memorial on Thursday, June 16, 2011, Noon, Holy Cross Cemetery, 3900 South 12th St., Sheboygan. Hope After Loss Organization (HALO) at St. Nicholas Hospital was created to support parents and their families with resources and counseling offered to anyone who has lost a baby. For some, it's a memorial service only, and for others, it's the actual burial of their tiny baby. "Whether a family attends the service or not, it's important for those in our community to know that babies miscarried at St. Nicholas Hospital are cared for in a dignified and respectful manner," said Cori Salchert, RN, Bereavement Specialist, HALO. The service will include prayer and scripture, as well as a demonstration using pieces of broken colored glass. "Left as they are, the pieces are simply shattered and appear to be useless for any good. But in the building where the service is held, there are many stained glass windows. Where once there was only brokenness and chaos there is now something even more beautiful and useful created from the shards of the original glass vessels." said Salchert. Parents and loved ones may also write messages on helium balloons, and at the graveside, they will be released, culminating the service.
