So much thanks to Larissa and her amazing blog, read all of it. You won't regret it.

We received an afghan for angels at the hospital along with a memory box from the hospital, and it's so nice to have tangible objects to hold onto to remember Sawyer.

I absolutely love the Pregnancy Loss Australia organization and their bears donated in honor of lost children to give bereaved parents at the hospital, this idea itself helped us to not feel alone. This link can be used to donate a bear in Sawyer's name. Devin and I would love to start something similar here in the US.

We use bible verses and praying together to comfort each other and feel closer to God and to Sawyer. This link has a lot of comforting verses that can be helpful to other grieving couples.

This article has great ideas on gifts for bereaved parents! We love having jewelry to wear every day for Sawyer.

October 15th is national pregnancy and infant loss awareness day, and in honor of Sawyer and other angel babies, light a candle and remember!
