A moment to remember
In your Clearity Care box
A coin to keep.
In every Clearity Care box you will find a small memorial coin with Jizō, a symbol of remembrance in Japanese tradition. It is a heavy metal coin, 30 mm across, in a small white box with a short card about Jizō. It is yours to keep.

Support for partners
Partners may grieve differently. Each of you can seek support, and talk together about what you need.
Help from the people around you
Ask one person to pass on news, bring food or arrange things, so you need not repeat your story.
A memory, if you would like one
A letter, a candle or an ultrasound image can help you remember. You choose whether and when.
