Does anyone have any good ideas for honoring the baby. Even if its something small, that I can do whenever I miss him.

When I had my miscarriage, the people at my job gave me a plant. Maybe plant something that you can see grow and always remind you.

I planted a flowering plant in my garden. It is one that blooms in fall time when our baby would have arrived. I also wrote a letter to my baby that I was planning to bury with the plant. They have very nice rememberence stones or statues that you can place in your garden. I also have a necklace with baby feet in a heart. There is a large variety of jewelry to choose from.
I am so sorry for your loss.

Good ideas. I was looking at different flowers. Thinking of planting violets. They are the flower of february. That's when my baby was due.

I get what your going for. Your baby should make some mark .

Don't pick plants which might fail though, it will hurt you. Plant a bush or tree rather than flowers.

Is there a place you like? A seat / bench in a beautiful place will give you place, and make a real mark, too - for many people.

Don't dismiss small acts. Light a candle, pray for him.

I like to write messages on foil balloons filled with helium and release them outside. I like to think that they make their way to my baby. It makes me feel better at the time :)
