Sweet Baby James

Early Thursday morning my cousin Kim's sweet baby boy James passed away - he was 2 weeks old.

Please keep them in your prayers - everyone is devastated.

For anyone that has gone through this please let me know if there is some 'gift' I can get them to acknowledge that he lived and was loved by his family. I'm really at a loss.

I am so sorry for your cousin's and your family's loss.

One of the important things to us, when we lost Olivia, was to have some sort of living memorial to her. I was pretty adamant that it be outdoors, since she was confined for her short 18 days in a plastic box in the hospital. We ended up planting a grove of trees at a beautiful, fairly local park (it's hard to believe, but it was actually quite hard to find a park that would take our donation---which was sizable since all of our friends contributed---of trees and care for them). We go there on mother's day and on the day of Olivia's passing and we hope that it will be a nice place for our girls to visit and be with their sister's spirit in the future. We link to an article about the site on the left side of our blog (under Olivia's Grove).

Jen i am so sorry to hear the news.. From someone who has been there my heart goes out to them. My favorit thing ever was a necklace I had. We took Chase's original foot prints to the mall and they imaged them onto a tag with his name and date. Mine was made into a necklace but you can also make it into a keyring.. Just a thought..
THinking of you all

I am so sorry for the loss of a precious child. I myself have suffered preterm loss- we lost our twin boys at 23 weeks last July. The only thing you can do is let them know you are there and that you care. Just knowing that from our family and friends brought us a lot of comfort.
