Stärnechind

Our association, Stärnechind, makes clothes for miscarried and stillborn children (star children) and provides the affected parents with a memory box.

With our memory box, we want to make the grieving period a little easier for parents. The grieving parents receive a memory box at the hospital/clinic containing a two-piece clay heart necklace (one heart can be given to the child on its final journey), a feather angel with an extra feather for the child, a pair of owls/butterflies and a lantern.

The box is intended for parents to store personal items that they can associate with the short but precious time they spent with their child.

We provide hospitals with clothes, hats, swaddling blankets and farewell baskets free of charge to enable parents to say a dignified goodbye to their deceased child.

We supply all Swiss maternity hospitals, neonatal units, intensive care units and some birthing centres with our Stärnechind items.

All members work on a voluntary basis. 100% of all donations go towards our Stärnechind project.

If you look at the sky at night

For you, it will be as all stars are laughing
because I live on one of them
because I'm laughing on one of them.
You alone will have stars that can laugh

The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
