Sadly, every single day of the year and every hour of every day there is a child who is lost to a family that leaves the parents with this most devastating form of heartache imaginable.
This piece of life’s puzzle – the really jagged piece is one that doesn’t and shouldn’t fit into the symphony of life as we know it. For the survivors, the ultimate pain, the valley left in the soul and a loss of a life short lived are simply pain thresh holds that cannot be measured nor explained.
As tragic as this event is, the greater loss would be to not learn from this and to grow from this and to care for others who are also hurting.
Some pertinent lessons learned from other parents are shared right here for you to absorb.
Even though the parents have suffered the same loss, and they may have been partners for many years, the inner feelings and sense of loss are dealt with completely differently by each individual. Neither of the couples pain is greater than the other – they are both immense.
It is vitally important that the couple have an active and ongoing support system. Of course, unless you have been through this tragic event – you cannot possibly relate to the feelings of loss.
If there are siblings, be sure too address their needs as well – they have lost greatly also. Don’t forget the relatives as well – especially the grandparents – who have lost that special bond, and have seen the horrible grief of their own child in the process while they are dealing with this loss.
Close friends – let them help – this is the time when you really need to open up and let your friends take care of you. Just as you would for them – open your heart and mind and take as much support as you need.
As you pass through this tragic gateway and start on the pathway to healing from this gaping hole that is in your heart and your soul, remember that love plus time fosters healing. One day in the future we will then grieve because we loved the one who has died as a result of the strength of our community and heal because the dream is to love again.
With strength and love to you at this time.
Peace
Bruce Hultgren

Hi...
I created these In Loving Memory Pocket Angels after I lost my Father to a very short battle with cancer. Following his passing I kept thinking – “There HAS TO BE a better way” to commemorate his life.
These stunning In Loving Memory Pocket Angels were then created as a result.
Presented in a brilliant, crystal clear envelope and available with a Silver or Gold Pocket Angel - these Angels will be kept as a keepsake for a lasting memory by all who receive them.
INCLUDE PHOTO'S & PRAYERS ON THE REAR OF THE CARD
The 4 Steps to complete your order is extremely simple...
1. You choose the front design with the message you would like to share AND LET YOUR FUNERAL DIRECTOR KNOW.
2. Decide on a Silver or Gold Angel Medallion attached.
3. You choose the absolute perfect wording for the rear of the card – to go along with the Loved One's name, date of birth and date of passing.
4. You tell Your FUNERAL DIRECTOR WHEN you need them delivered by and the best address (we will get these anywhere in the country (North America or Australia) within 72 hours)
You have created the perfect keepsake of your loved one and many can carry their legacy with them forever.
"See our DESIGN PAGE for examples and range."

COMING SOON - All designs will be available in Spanish
Veteran Funeral Directors around the country with over 30 years experience are exclaiming exactly this.
