Sophie,
I am so sorry that you have to be here, but welcome, you will find this
group of people are always there to listen, help, laugh and cry.
On a practical note, is it possible to have Rosa added to the existing
stone? I dont know if this is something that can be done, or if you would even
want to, but it just occured to me.
It is funny that you bring this subject up though. Just the other day I was
thinking about Emma (my daughter's) headstone and how for the next 300 years
or maybe even more, people will see it, and know how important to us she is. I
know every time I have ever been in a cemetary, even before losing our
daughter, I have visited the baby area and noticed and truly felt the pain the
family must have experienced burying their truly loved child. It made me feel
so
proud, in a strange sort of way, to know that even after I am gone,
strangers will see my daughter's headstone, think of her, and send her love. I
know
she is not there, but that place is a memorial for me, an honor to her and a
way that I say how wonderful she is to me.It is a silly thing really, she is
in such a perfect place, the place that marks her burial is not important to
her, but us mothers sometimes need that little bit of extra. So, perhaps the
investment would be worth it, to get Rosa her own marker. Maybe a small
plaque in the beginning, and later on, maybe financially you could do
something
more.
Just my two cents and thanks for sharing this, it gave me an opportunity to
share my thoughts.
