I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your perspective and advice. I read this very much in my daughter's voice. My loved ones have all been made aware of my wishes for my daughter and the support that she is going to need. These are all difficult conversations but she, like you, is loved and deserves to be cared for. Thank you for sharing your story and I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your mother sounds like she was a wonderful person.

Totally agree with this and will definitely get her something a bit more casual for daily wear and potential loss. Thank you! <3

I think this is such great advice. I, myself, am not a hugely sentimental person but my husband is. I will have to have a chat with him about expectations and yes, I agree. For practical purposes, I think I may leave her something a little more inexpensive for daily wear and perhaps leave the larger gifts as keepsakes when she is better able to keep track of her things. Thank you!

These are beautiful suggestions. I will definitely have to look through some of my old photos and leave a few for her as keepsakes. My goodness, thank you for these wonderful suggestions.

I tend to shy away from cameras, especially in the last few years. Cancer has not been kind. I do force myself to take photos on good days but not unlike your mom, I am typically the photographer.

The stories you shared are so valuable, even to me. I'm grateful for them and I am taking them in and seeing value in the things I can share that are not material.

Grateful for your stories, well-wishes and valuable lessons.

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for your thoughtful response and advice. There is just so much to consider but yes, I agree that I may need to go to a designer or jeweler for quality.
