Custom Handprint White Gold Charm Review

by Susan Mosquera

Dear Sue,

I just received my white gold custom handprint necklace. It is more perfect than I imagined. I am a blubbering, weepy mess, but I knew I would be. Now, every picture of our family will have Ellis in it too. For every vacation, he will in some way accompany us. Every holiday, every bedtime story, every walk in the park I can hold his hand always. 

My little Ellis was 18 weeks gestation but only measured at 15 weeks. It's astounding the pain that losing a baby still causes. The love you have for the baby lost is no less, whether it's baby #2 or baby #10. A piece of our family will ALWAYS be missing....and the ache in my heart will ALWAYS be there. Thank you again for your gentle, helping hand through this unchartered territory of grief that I never in a million years thought I would be forced to face. I am eternally grateful.

I still cry when I talk about Ellis and cry when I type about him, and even when I see his handprint. But my soul feels so much more 'settled' now. I feel like I truly have a TANGIBLE piece of my son. And there is something so very comforting about that. I can't tell you the number of companies I researched looking for something to truly represent HIM....not just 'the loss'. You were the only company I found that could not only do that, but offer it in a quality that would last. 

The memories of losing my baby will always be very vivid in my mind....but so will all of those who helped me in my healing journey....who had had a similar loss, and reached out to comfort me the best they could. That was the Lord....working through them. And you have also been a part of that sacred healing journey.

Basically, after losing Ellis....I felt so ABANDONED by God. I had never felt so far from Him. But the scripture talks about how those who have had struggles in life, when THEY comfort you through your similar trial.....that that is actually GOD working through THEM. Here, I had overlooked Gods mercies all along.

Sue, I'm glad you have embraced your calling. You are using your talents and experience to help others....who DURING their struggles....don't know HOW to help themselves. It's a beautiful way to honor, and give purpose to your loss. God bless you as you continue this great work. 

Keep up the heavenly work you are doing here on earth....it matters more than you know. 

Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough......xoxoxo

P.S.  I love my necklace more and more every day. 

Especially when the little ones sit on my lap....and fidget with my necklace....I feel like they are in a sense, getting acquainted with their brother. I saw your Facebook post.....and the tears flowed. Wesley, my 5 yr old, asked why i was crying. I answered, "Just because sweetie."

Then my 7 year old Wyatt said "I know why you're crying ....it's because you miss Ellis. It's okay mommy....I miss him too.".

I love how my kids do feel like they KNOW HIM....and I honestly think a lot of that has to do with the VISUAL reminder they have of him....that they see every day around their mothers' neck. 

Every day for the past few weeks...at one point of the day or another, Phil will randomly say, "I really do love that necklace". Never in our marriage has he been one to pay attention to 'jewelry'...and so that little gesture makes it so very clear what a special thing my handprint necklace is to HIM...just as it is to ME.

It is so much more than a simple compliment he is giving me. In a round about way he is in essence saying, "I really do love our Ellis". And that means more to me than any compliment I could ever receive.

They say you can't buy love....but I truly did buy COMFORT when I purchased this from you.
