What a lovely thing for your son and daughter-in-law to do. I'm sure the entire staff is feeling the sting.
There is no time line for how one deals with grief, and this is an unusual situation all the way around. Let your tears flow as they water the flowers of memories of sweet Ava.

The funeral was Friday. It was both horrible and beautiful at the same time. Ava looked like an angel in her white dress with all appliqués and sequins on it. She had a beautiful tiny white casket with pink satin. She was buried with her favorite bunny stuffed animal, rattles and the toys she loved.
When we got to the gravesite, we released live butterflies and they were flying all over and landing on the flowers while the priest said the final prayers. She is buried in the baby section up on a hill with trees and a sitting bench nearby. It is very peaceful there.
The chapel was full. She touched so many lives and her parents are so loved. It was beautiful service honoring Ava.
Thank you again for holding me up this past 9 months. I truly cannot tell you how much your words, prayers, pms, donations, etc. meant. Ava’s pea aunties will always hold a special place in my heart and prayers. You are all amazing women.

That does sound like a beautiful day honoring little Ava. A heart-wrenching beautiful day. I totally understand that it was both horrible and beautiful at the same time. I hope, with time, that the beauty of the day and of Ava's short life brings you and her parents some comfort. Sending you hugs.

What a difficult day for you all. I was just thinking about you the other day. Butterflies will always hold a special meaning for you.
Because, as Catholics, we believe in praying for a passed loved one many times, I will say again,
Eternal rest grant unto Ava, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Funerals can be beautiful and I’m glad you felt that at such a devastating time.
YOU are an amazing Pea. You have held your son and DIL as you all went through the roller coaster heartbreak and eventually you will all find your own peace. Ava will be remembered with much fondness by the Peas as a little warrior. RIP sweet child.
