Welcome. On the 15th of March, 2007 at 12:43pm my wife died in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. We had been together over 10 years. This blog is a tool for me to express and journal my journey after the loss.

Headstone Part 1
Hey everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know I went down today and ordered the Headstone for Carol. Sounds terrible that it took this long. But I did it today. I will get the template in the mail in 10 days and then return it. The whole process should take about 6 - 8 weeks.

Hi Kelly,
People don't realize what a big step it is trying to get this sort of thing just right. That little sassy girl would be so proud that her headstone was not just your run-of-the-mill stone, but one with love and thought and uniqueness put into it. Yes, she would like that quite alot. Thanks for going all out for it.
Good things take time, and I agree with Merle -- This will be very special and very personal. What a lovely place to go visit Carol and remember and meditate ...
Would you mind posting a photo of the marker, once it's in place? I'd love to see it, and know other faraway friends and family would, too. (Only if you wish, of course.)
Meanwhile, this stone is a truly a milestone ... And we're all grateful for your love and care and collaboration with Cousin Merle on its design and message.
The thought and love that you put into Carol's headstone would have made her so proud. Be proud of yourself also, it's one more big step in your journey. Take Care, Carrie
Kelly, I have been reading Carol's and your blogs for a few months now,following your process. I haven't been able to write or even read all of them until lately. I just couldn't. I am glad that you have lots of support and friendships to help you along this difficult journey. I orginially told Lyn that I would post some fun things that Carol and I did but somehow, I just couldn't face it. I guess I am a coward that way and chose to live in denial. I called you on Carol's birthday to just let you know I was thinking of you both. The headstone you chose was thoughtful, full of love and committment. Carol would approve. I miss her terribly and sometimes I think, "well I am going to stop by and we can go for coffee," then I remember. I am thinking of you and I care.
