- Miscarriage & Infant Loss Memorial Book
-
The Miscarriage & Infant Loss Memorial Book, was a prayer request facility for those who suffered the loss of a baby from conception to 3 years old. It is kept at the Church of St Paul the Apostle in Tintagel, Cornwall, United Kingdom where this book is placed on the altar at all Masses. It is now closed for further entries.
History
The Miscarriage & Infant Loss Memorial Book was founded by Myke and Dr Miriam Rosenthal-English after the loss of their first baby "Ruth" aged 14 weeks due to miscarriage in 1995. Since then the Memorial Book project has grown from one which served the Roman Catholic Diocese of Plymouth into one which serves people of all beliefs, worldwide. On the 27th February 2011 after 16 years the Memorial Book was finally closed according to the website which is now referring those in need of prayer for their lost babies to Poor Clare Sisters in Wales.
