To Honor Our Angels

I lost my twins in February and have made up a memory box. The hospital was extremely thoughtful and gave us keepsakes to take home (pictures, footprints, hats, etc.). I have their prayer cards, blankets, and good sayings that I've found kept there.

I also wear a gold chain with two very small rings on it. That way my babies are with me... always!

I had my little boy cremated, his twin still lives. We bought a stuffed teddy bear urn to put Aaden's ashes in so when Evan gets older and he misses his "big" brother, he can hug him! Or if we are havinga bad day and we just need to snuggle, Aaden is always there! I also plan to get a necklace of a mother and child symbol and put some of his ashes in that. That way Aaden is always with me! Until I get the necklace, I wear the one the hospital gave me. I also bought two rubber bracelets (like the livestrong ones) that say "Remembering our babies" these are available for purchase at:
www.PregnancyLossRibbons.com
there are also more things to purchase.

My son passed away when he was 2 days old (born at 23 weeks). He was cremated and stays on my bedside table. We honored him by planting a tree in our front yard. We planted the tree on my official due date. I also found a website that custom makes garden stepping stones with mosaic glass. I've attached pictures of both.

After he died, we bought a hope chest that is at the foot of the bed, which holds his things from the hospital, cards we received and a few gifts that were given to me while I was still pregnant.

I'm sorry to hear of your losses. It's nice to have this site to support each other!

Well we really have no pictures of Kaitlyn. So we made up a shadow box with her sonogram pic, hat, pressure cuff, mass card, cross. It sits on our tv stand. the first year we set ballows free with messages to her, the second year we went to the NICU with Preemie hats and this year we set butterflies free. (my husband thought of this) We do take our kids to visit her headstone they help plant flowers and Lauren says hi sister but I dont think they really have a clue. I miss my baby everyday!

I was pregnant with identical twins. Our twin Charles passed away March 6, 2009. Jacob decided to come March 26th - 13 weeks early. To honor charles we have a box with various things in it from the blanket and hat from the hospital to various things people have given us for him to cards etc ... We have a photo album with both of their sonogram pictures in ... I am in the process of making a shadow box with their feet and hand prints in it. We are in the process of moving and we are planning on planting a tree for him and a flower garden ... and that's just the beginning.

I have a necklace with my daughters ashes sealed in it. You would never know what it was unless I told you but I love wearing it! Every hiliday and birthday I buy a card and write to her and place it in her box I made when she was born! Gosh I miss her!!!
