Does anyone do/wear anything to remember

medblondemedblonde
in TTC After a Loss

their angel?  I feel like I don't want to forget my lost LO while TTC but am having a difficult time figuring out how to do this.  I am thinking about buying a necklace and wearing it (at least while I am still grieving).  Do you think it would be too much or weird?  I want something for myself not for everyone else to notice...so very understated.

Here is what I'm thinking:

    It's not weird at all. I have a 3 star necklace (one big, One slightly smaller and a little tiny one) that I wear. For me it represents DH, me and our baby bean we lost.

    I think those are beautiful, and a nice memorial. I got a tattoo to remember the baby we lost in May, and after Pumpkin is born, I'm going to add a star for my August baby too.

    I LOVE the last one.  I wear a necklace my mom gave me, a mother and child heart pendant.  Wear it every day.

    I really like the second one.

    I have three baby ladybug magnets and one mommy one on my fridge so I see that everyday.

    They're all lovely. The first two I think you could wear without any questions... the final of course mentions a specific 'in memory' and that might draw attention to your loss.

    jeaninepayer.com has gorgeous butterfly jewelry (not at all p/l related) with beautiful inscriptions. I'm thinking about getting one of those. They also do custom inscriptions so you can get something else if you'd like.

    Whatever I get will probably be a butterfly as it's the least obviously p/l appearing.

    Weird?! No not at all... I am still wearing my necklace that I bought 2 weeks after my loss and that was over 2 months ago... I bought a heart necklace with the EDD birthstone, aquamarine, in it and it also has a small diamond outside the heart... I love it and wear it everyday!!!!

    I love all of those.  I think #1 is my favorite.

    I wear a necklace that has a broken heart stitched back together.

    This sounds so pretty - you must PIP!

    I have an angel of sunshine pin that I wore everyday for about a month. But the back broke off of it so now sits on my nightstand. There is also a little plaque on my fireplace mantle and the sonogram picture is in the back of my wedding album.

    I'd like to get something, but I haven't found anything I like just yet.

    I"ve worn this for the past 1.5 yrs. No one knows/realizes what it is. I kinda want to get something for the last one too though. Here's the site the ring is from www.myforeverchild.com

    DH gave me a ring for my birthday - as I had always said I wanted stackable eternity bands for different special occasions. So the first was for my 35th birthday and to remember our 2 losses this year. I wear it everyday. It looks like this, but mine has more of a spacing b/w the diamonds. Hopefully the next one will be the birthstones when we finally have a child.

    Definitely not weird. After our loss, my uncle sent me a ring. It has a large garnet in the middle and two tiny ones on each side. He told me that the color reminds him of Jesus' blood (and I soooo needed His grace during that time), and the two tiny stones remind me of the twins we lost. I still wear the ring almost every day, a year and a half later.

    I also got a tattoo that symbolizes a lot of things, one being my two lil babies.
