Thank you for all your words of comfort and advice. I actually cant wait until the day I am strong enough to be able to put some special memories together. I haven't had the strength to even buy a proper urn or memorial box to use. I went on several sites but broke down. My husband picked up his ashes from the vet and I told him to put them in a loving and safe place in our house, where he belongs, but I just can't even look at his remains right now. It is hard to think of my spunky little sweet boy a few months ago running around full of life, and now he is ashes. I know that is life and a part of the process. But it is so hard. I thank you for sharing your thoughts and story. All of the people who have responded to my cry for help, including you, are just so compassionate and caring to take time out of your own busy day to reach out to help someone in need. Thank you!
