    It's lovely of you to care so much Glamourcide.

    Absolutely do something to remember her sons. She is a mother and she has empty arms. That pain is excruciating. When someone remembers your little one - it touches very deep inside.

    Some ideas are if you sew a tiny little patch work quilt... I have one for my first daughter. It hangs in Imogen's room - it was made with so much love by a dear friend.

    A rose bush - hope, faith, (there are rose bushes with these or similar names) that she can plant in her children's honour.

    A simple thing is some crystals in a pouch - perhaps wih stones that correspond to December - and some rose quartz for love.

    If she has a pandora bracelet - a baby charm to remember her boys.

    A star - you can buy a star albiet a small one - but that is special too...

    A meal with a bottle of wine and dessert...

    I personally found flowers disturbing - I am not sure why - partly I think because they looked so beautiful and full of life - and then they died - like my babies did... But many people like them. (I usually love to receive flowers but after my babies died I needed to not see them..)

    I'm sure you'll be inspired to do just the right thing for her.
