I just ordered a personalized pet memorial necklace "urn" so that I can put some of Roxie's ashes in it to wear all the time. That way she is always with me. Currently I have a chihuahua pendant on a neck chain and when I find my emotions overwhelming me, I'll rub it between my fingers. I also find that when I am in the car I end up sobbing...Maybe having something like this while you are on road trips? They make them for keychains too. 

I had a memorial diamond made from my Karen back in 2018 ( https://www.heart-in-diamond.com/ ). I feel it helps me to have her ashes closes to me. Family members have made me feel bad for spending that amount of money on a diamond. My counselor said that having Karen's ashes closes to me may make grieving harder, but supported me if i feel it helps me. I do feel it helps me, it remind me of how beautiful she was.

I've heard of people that made memorial keepsakes from blankets, hair and all sorts of things. Does anyone else have experience with that?

Thank you very much both! Appreciate it 😀

Is there a technique for making those dreams go away, or do they just come and go and are they part of the grieving process?

Hi - I'm pretty sure there are a lot of topics about this but i wanted to ask who else has these really vivid dreams in which their lost loved one was still alive, but after waking up you realize she's not there anymore. How do you deal with that and when did the dreams go away.

The dreams are strangely comforting but the feeling when you wake up is just devastating.
