Emotional Breakdown, I TOUCHED MY BABY'S ASHES TODAY Options

[Kim R.]

I RECEIVED MY KEEPSAKE NECKLACE TODAY, THE TEARDROP I ORDERED THAT HOLDS THE ASHES OF MY SASHA SO I CAN KEEP HER WITH ME ALWAYS. THE CREMATORY WOULD HAVE FILLED IT FOR ME, BUT AGAINST MY HUSBAND'S ADVICE, I WAS DETERMINED TO DO IT MYSELF. IT WAS OVERWHELMING. IN THE YEAR AND 5 MONTHS SHE HAS BEEN GONE, I HAVE ONLY EVEN LOOKED AT THEM ONCE. I JUST FELT, OUT OF RESPECT FOR HER, THAT I SHOULD DO IT. IN MY MIND, THIS IS MY BABY'S BODY REGARDLESS WHAT FORM IT IS IN. IT IS JUST SUCH A BOLD REMINDER THAT SHE IS GONE.....FOREVER.

I MISS HER SO MUCH................

I just ordered a necklace that sounds very similiar except for it is a cross to keep my babies ashes in. I think I will heed your advice and have the pet memorial service do it for me. I think the tears I cry everyday would pale in comparison to the ones I would shed if I did it myself. I know how you feel about trying not to look at the ashes much. I think I have only looked a couple of times since Parker passed, I do however kiss his paw print all the time, but that is different.

Parker's Mom,
