• Shutting out a partner who will be grieving too but not always as the same way as you do.
• Keeping baby's remains or ashes with you in the house.
• Creating a graveside which becomes so overcrowded with gifts and such a shrine that you never really want to leave the cemetery, to spend time anywhere else.
• You may not want to throw anything or any flowers or gift by someone away from the graveside, but you can keep it fresh and tidy by adding a new item each birthday.Cleaning the a stone every few months if baby has one with a cloth and keeping the grass short.
• Replacing artificial flowers at least twice a year gives it a fresh look too without smelly real ones going bad as they rot.
• Then the love you have for baby will always be in your heart and the memories can live on and be much more treasured.
