Memories and Keepsakes
Author Unknown  
 
The memories you have of anniversaries, holidays, and special events are of celebrations of family time together.

Now you face these times feeling empty with your your baby. You have a different outlook about such occasions and may have an image of how you would have shared the moments with your baby.

While sadness will remain with you forever, the memories of your baby are some of the most important "keepsakes" you will have. You can treasure them. You can share them with others.

Family and friends often feel they will cause you more pain by talking about your baby. Let them know if you want to talk and together you can build memories.

As time passes, happy memories of your baby will gradually replace the sad ones, and you will be able to laugh again.
