My twin boys were born at 26 weeks and my first born, Colin, passed away at 3 days old. I can say that what I needed most was for my friends to be there for me when I needed to cry or needed to talk about him. So many of my friends either never called, emailed, or sent a sympathy card. They are no longer my friends.
My cousin, who lost triplets at 22 weeks a month and a half before my twins were born, got me this glass ornament that says "Merry Christmas from heaven. I love you- Colin" and I just bawled when she gave it to me but now 5 years later I pull his ornament out and hang it on a special place on the tree. I also had a glass ornament made with his footprints etched in the class but obviously you can't do that in this situation. So the angel ornament is a great idea.
Here is an idea of the glass ornament my cousin did- she got me the bell shaped one though.
