    Bunny whisperer, I'm sorry you are having to experience stage 8 and all the emotions that come with that. Saying goodby is helpful, especially for the one left behind. I am glad you were able to share that. Know you LO is in a better place, free from all they suffered here on earth. Sending hugs and healing prayers as you navigate new uncharted waters.

    Thank you for sharing the poem. Because of cost I had to cremate my DH which wasnt what he wanted, but I bought an urn necklace on amazon so a part of him is with me always. I know to some this may seem creepy, but it brought me comfort to know he is with me always and not only in memories 💜.
