Hi Dena,
I was thinking today that it has been a week since Natalie's passing and I also remembered you were going to pick up her ashes. I am sure that must have been very hard as this whole week has been. I still think about Natalie and you and Gracie every day and hope you and Gracie are finding comfort with each other.
Lulu is my first dog so I don't have a lot of experience with animal behavior but maybe if Gracie is comforted by Natalie's pj's for now it would be good to let her keep them for a little while, unless like someone else said, she gets obsessed with them. At that point, I would probably take them away.
Poor Gracie must be confused about where Natalie went, poor thing. She sound like such a sweetheart.
You and Gracie are in my daily thoughts...
