I just bought the willow tree "angel's embrace" christmas ornament. I saw it and just had this weird feeling like I needed to have it. And I felt at peace when I bought it (for a few moments at least).
My husband and I went to the International Star Registry website and named a star with the nickname we'd been using for our LO. You get a nice certificate and the coordinates of your star and put in the "Registry of Stars". We love the idea that we can look up into the sky and find our star and that it will always be there.

OOh, great Idea! I also know they sell teddy bears that come with a to be named, so that way you have a tangible item to hold/pass down to siblings,etc (the teddy bear) and your star. Great idea! I may do that!
Edit: They are called Shining Stars, here's an amazon link to some of them, I know I bought one for a friend from Kohls for$5.
We have a little ceramic heart that has a smaller heart cut out of the middle we buried the small heart with our son and the bigger heart is in a shadow box in our living room. I plan on turning one of our ultrasounds into a Christmas tree ornament.
I'm also making a stepping stone to go on the grave.Which is next to a butterfly bush.
We burried him with notes from both of us and each grandma gave him a blanket that we buried him in.
Our son died at 16weeks 6days on September 22, 2010
