Dealing with 1st angelversary

Hello,
Friday the 18th it will have been one year since we lost our son (@ 24weeks). I'm anticipating it to be a tough day.
Anyone have suggestions on good ways to spend the day? Other than sobbing over a grave stone.
DH and I have the day off toghether.
Any suggestions are welcome.
TIA

    We just passed our daughter's first angelversary at the end of last month.  My daughter was three when she passed and we had her cremated.  On her angelversary we were in Seattle and went to a place called Artful Ashes that used some of her ashes in a glass piece.  We got to watch the whole process.  I also had some dissolvable paper and we wrote notes to her and left them in the water.  We talked about her and I made sure to have her favorite food for dinner (macaroni and cheese)

    It hasn't been a year for us yet, but today marks 4 weeks since we lost our little boy. My two amazing friends are coming over with balloons, we are going to write on them, then send them to him. Later on my boyfriend and I plan on doing something just for the two of us in remembrance of our little one.

    Sending peace and healing vibes for your day.

    This is something I have been thinking about a lot lately! Our baby girl would have turned one on Nov. 29th and I have been trying to decide what we want to do that day (I lost her right at 26 weeks). I'm not totally sure all that we will do that day, but I do hope to visit her grave with flowers, and maybe a birthday balloon, but I don't want to spend the whole day there mourning. I don't think she would want us to :) I hope to reminisce over our favorite things about her, our favorite memories of her (we had her with us for 5 days after she was born), and try to remember the good things of those 5 days, and even our favorite memories of my pregnancy with her. I also hope to work on a project in memory of her, such as making a photo book with all of my pregnancy pics and photos of her, or making a shadow box with the things we have from the hospital from her birth.

    I am not sure your if any of this was a help to you, but I hope that you are able to find the perfect thing to do that day. I know that it will be a hard day, but I hope it can also be a day that you can celebrate the time that you did have with your little boy! I will be thinking and praying for you on the 18th!
