Huge hugs to you. I know how hard that news can be. After our son's stone was done (he's in a mausoleum so the stone hangs on a wall) we went to see it just to see what it ended up looking like. The finality of seeing the stone completed was overwhelming - yet also brought a sense of peace. Praying you get through these difficult times

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me
Missing you tonight, see you again sometime
For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight
I'll love you forever
I'll like you for always
Now and Forever
My baby you'll be
I know that it is hard, for me it was difficult because all I thought about was that it was the last thing I would ever buy my daughter that actually mattered. But when it was placed and there for a week or so I felt so settled and at peace with it. That part of the process was at least over. And I had done everything I could for her.
Huge hugs.

Yes, the finality of it is what I am hating the most. But if there ever was such a thing, it is the most perfect head stone for our little angel James.
It tooks me nealry 9 months before I could even look at headstones. The longer I waited though, the more unsettled I was. It wasn't fair that I had to even pick one out, but it didn't feel right that he didn't have one at the cemetery -- a place for his name and his name only. When we finally picked out what we wanted and it arrived, it was so overwhelmed. DH and I went and layed it ourselves (it's a small granite plaque like headstone). After it was down we just sat there for a while. It was a very bitter -- bitter --- sweet moment. I did feel a sense of peace having it there.

Im sorry. My brother picked and paid for Enzo's headstone. I couldn't go to the cemetery. We more or less showed him one we would prefer on this brochure and he went to the cemetery and picked it out. I couldn't go to the cemetery. I still can't. I guess when they let me know it's there maybe just maybe I can get the courage to go see it.

Huge hugs. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be to pick one out. I don't know if I will ever be able to commit to one for Avery.
