A small memento of your choice can be  included in with the baby at the time it is sent for pathology. If you  wish, you can receive a special memory packet which contains a copy of  the ultrasound report if you do not have one, online and printed  materials, and a little memento to take home with you. It is our hope  that you and your loved ones feel comfortable and cared for while at  ARHC. If there is anything else we should know or can do to make your  visit easier, please let us know.<\/p>\n<h4>RESOURCES<\/h4>\n<p>Traditionally, particularly in many Western faiths, there have been  no rituals or ceremonies or prayers written to connect God&#8217;s love and  mercy to women&#8217;s experience of pregnancy loss. &nbsp;Fortunately, today much  work has been done to address this need. &nbsp;New prayers, rituals and  ceremonies have been created and are available to help women and their  families honor their loss, name their grief, and find solace in the  warmth of family, friends, and their faith community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Did you get that?&nbsp; They actually called the killed human child a &#8220;baby&#8221;, not a &#8220;product of conception&#8221;.&nbsp; After you pay a &#8220;doctor&#8221; to murder your baby, you can be all touchy-feely and warm and have a nice memento (baby booties?&nbsp; Ultrasound photos?&nbsp; A picture of &#8220;mom&#8221;?) burned to ashes along with the baby&#8217;s corpse.&nbsp; And from the sound of the paragraph above, it looks like you can do anything from taking communion to having a nice wiccan ceremony, to commemorate your decision to kill your child.&nbsp;
