Visiting a Loved one's graveside www.giftsforangels.co.uk

Visiting a Grave of someone you love can be so hard and some people feel the need to go a lot and others can not bring themselves to even enter the cemetery. For me I have felt both of these emotions during the last 7 years. At the very beginning my husband went every day without fail, he used to say that he just wanted to be near her,but for me it was too final and I could not bring myself to go, it was like I was accepting the fact that my daughter was gone and I was not yet ready to do this.  I remember her 3rd Birthday, it was 4 months after she died and I was distraught, still in shock but also the reality had started to set in. I was physically in pain from grief and I wanted so badly to buy her a present. I remember walking around Toys R Us and looking at all the "Fifi" stuff and "The Wiggles" guitar that I had promised her I would get. I finally settled on a little plastic car with Fifi in, I put it on her grave side and I thought about all the other Mum's and Dad's that had lost children what do they buy? was I being crazy? Over the next few weeks I spent a lot of time looking for things that I could buy and put down for her. The garden centre's had the odd thing, but most things just looked like they belonged in the garden of a retired old man! I wanted something bright, beautiful and fun just as Lola was. Lola loved hearts so the idea of a bright coloured stone heart came to me and I mentioned this to my Mother, who was about to make her annual trip to Sri Lank,
"I'll get one of those made for you," she said "would you like anything written on it?" she asked
I knew the exact words I wanted, it was words My Mother-in-law said to her grand daughters when she was dying
"If you ever need me, I will always be in your heart"
So the first stone heart came back from Sri Lank, bright pink with the words "Always in my heart" . I remember the feeling I had when I first saw it, I new Lola would have loved it and it did make her grave side look so much better. My mum also had one made and placed it in her garden where Lola use to play. This small piece of stone gave me such comfort, that I wanted to share it with others. I spent the next 3-4 years working on designs and bringing products over for friends and family, and eventually "Gifts for Angels" was born. It has given me a great focus and purpose and I am so grateful for this. It was born out of love for my darling Angel Lola, and now I want to offer it to others. I do not have a big mark up on these products, I want to be able to give 10% to brain tumour research.  My philosophy is we buy gifts for our loved ones when they are here with us, so why not when they are gone, because the are never forgotten.
