Still wondering what to do with your wedding gown? (loss mentioned)

Awhile back I posted asking what everyone else did with their wedding gowns - mine is still sitting in my closet - and the overwhelming majority of you said the same.

This showed up in my FB newsfeed today. This organization was started last year; they accept donated wedding gowns and turn them into gowns for babies that have passed away in the hospital. You can read more about what they do on their website. I know this can be a sensitive thing and hope my warning in the subject is ok. I just really wanted to pass this on, knowing that a lot of you said you also weren't sure what to do with your dress.

    I saw that too.  A gal who worked in the college daycare we used back in KS posted this.  They had a stillborn baby girl about 2 years ago.  She said that she was thankful that her baby received a dress like this and I believe was buried in it.  Thankfully she has a healthy 6 mo old boy now.

    @lexusolsen you and your family have been in my prayers; I am so glad to know there are other volunteers/organizations doing things like this. I would imagine that little details like that can mean a lot during such an emotional time. <3

    My cousin posted this on facebook earlier today and I just love the idea. I know when we were in the hospital and I delivered our daughter (who was stillborn) they gave us a few different outfits, blankets and hats that had been made and donated by volunteers. That small act meant more than I could ever say. We cremated one set with her and then kept the other set and I have it in a shadow box in our room.

    Thank you so much. You ladies have been so supportive. I appreciate all the prayers.
