Urns and Cremation jewelry.
If you have chosen to have your child cremated, we now that it can be difficult to find an urn in a small size. The general rule for size is 1 cubic inch for 1 pound of weight. You can of course use any size urn you like, but these are some sites that specifically have smaller sizes for infants.

Blogs.
There are so many blogs about losing a baby and learning to live with your new life that it is difficult to make a list. Blogs are constantly being started and stopped and everyone is at a different point in their journey that it is difficult to recommend any particular ones. The Baby Loss Directory has a list of blogs, but unfortunately the list is not kept up to date.
