Capture Your Grief

Today is October 1st, the first day of Carly Marie's Capture your Grief Photo Challenge.
 
I missed the actual sunrise this morning, because I was getting my eldest son out of bed and ready for school.  However, our drive and the sky was beautiful this morning.
 
 
I am anxious to see all of my mommy friend's photos as well.  I know in a year from now our grief will look totally different.
 
Love you all, praying for you. 
 Happy Monday Morning!

    You captured a beautiful picture. Thank you for your sweet comment. I was having a lot of anxiety because I didn't get just the picture I wanted, but you are right, grief is gloomy so it really is appropriate.

Infant and Child headstone ideas

Image
Many times a week I see parents searching the internet for infant and child headstone ideas, as well as stillborn baby epitaphs, and epitaphs for infants.  I hope I can be of some help to all of these parents.  I have been in your shoes, "Googling" all of these exact terms, trying to find the perfect stone and wording for my son's very own headstone.  I know all of these decisions are hard and you wish anyone but you had to make them, but I promise you, you will get through it. << Big hugs to you>> Most of the ideas for headstones below are from the monument company here in Texas that I ordered my son's headstone from.  I'm sure other monument companies across the world could replicate these if you just ask. The first one I came across is Winnie the Pooh.  It is fairly common here in Texas and often used for older children.   Most babies and children are comforted by a teddy bear, why not give them an everlasting teddy with a headston...

Flowers for his funeral

Image
      On the Tuesday before Valentine's Day, I was out attempting to order flowers.  Not for any happy occasion though.  I was searching for the perfect flowers for my Jake's funeral. I first went to the florist here in my hometown.  The ladies tried to be nice and helpful.  I was just not liking what they were showing me.  The flowers they had to display were droopy and lacking color appeal.  I wanted his arrangements to include blue Hydrangeas and white Roses.  The ladies at this florist dashed all of my wants, telling me that hydrangeas wouldn't last... they would wilt too fast and they weren't willing to budge on what I wanted.  They brought me ugly yellow daisies that I didn't want and were trying to add white carnations as well... neither of which I asked for..  I was in tears, thinking this would be all I had to choose from.  Finally, we made the decision to leave and see what other florists in the area co...

Ordering Jacob's headstone

Hi. I'm so sorry you are here.  If you are looking for ideas on headstones for babies and children please visit the blog address below: http://stillloved.blogspot.com/2013/04/infant-and-child-headstone-ideas.html   Below, is my experience in ordering my stillborn son Jacob's headstone and choosing the perfect wording to go on it. <3 Big hugs to you!   The biggest day of my life since losing Jacob and the funeral was yesterday.  Yesterday, was the day I ordered my sweet baby boy's headstone.  I had originally planned on placing the order on Friday, but for unknown reasons, the owner of the company was out of town and would not return until Monday.   I have been debating for a good while on what I wanted his headstone to say.  I conducted numerous searches on the Internet for infant headstone quotes, epitaphs and so on... I never truly found one that I just loved.  Then, last week I found a website, that ...
