I was 26 weeks with my daughter. We buried her and had s very small service with immediate family and my closest friends. It's what we wanted. Do what you want. Addison was very much a huge part of our family already and her loss was felt deeply by my family. A service and a place to bury her was what my H and I needed. We also have somewhere to go when we remember her. That was really helpful during the mourning process. We still go there and leave her flowers.
It's all about what you and your H need and want. If you don't feel it's appropriate then don't at all feel obligated.
Can someone come be with you? I hate that you're alone right now.

When I had a m/c the funeral home did a cremation. They offered a teddy bear that would store the ashes, but we opted to bury the ashes by my father's grave instead. I think a funeral would be fine, and it would be fine if you didn't want to have one. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this.

Cher honey you do whatever you feel necessary to help you. This baby was a big part of your family and it will take time. Cry, throw things, do whatever you need.
Is your husband coming back to be with you? Can your mom come up?
I'm so so sorry. There are no words to bring comfort to you right now, but wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you and your family, as creepy as it sounds. I think you'll know what's best for you when the time comes. We decided not to do a memorial service, it was too painful and that still feels like it was the right decision for us. Many hugs and please take a good care of yourself.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. This is heartbreaking and there is no right or wrong way to move forward, do what feels right for your family. I'll be keeping you all in my thoughts
