      Hello,

       My name is Trisha. I have been with my fiance for over 4 years. Shortly after his wife passed away. Times have been very difficult between us, and for him. He still really has not been about to learn to cope with everything. He is working 2 jobs to try and bring himself out of the debt that occured from the sudden death hof his wife. He feels guilty for not being about to put a headstone on her grave. It has been almost 5 years now and there is only the 1st marker there. He has been getting grief from his children, ages 12 and 10, and his late wife's family because he still has not been able to get the headstone. I feel that once he can get that headstone purchased and placed that will help him with the closure that he needs in order to learn to cope more with this loss and to know that it is done. I am asking for help, not for myself but to help this wonderful family that he has to be able to put some closure there in their lives. I work full-time, and go to school full-time, he has 2 jobs, and I am trying to help him raise his kids. It has been a long hard road and I have done everything I can to help smooth those bumps that come along the way but between the my 2 kids and his 2 kids, the monthly bills, groceries, and increasing fuel bills we just do not have the means to get the $1600 for the headstone that he wants to get her. It is the one she and him had dicussed long ago. He wants to make that 1 last dream of hers a reality. Can you please help me to help them put that stone that means so much to so many there, to mark the life and the love that they all shared? Thank you.

          Unfortunately there is no funding available for headstones (unless it's military and that's automatic).

          That is considered a luxury "sad", but true. The best bet is for everyone to chip in and pay little by little. Open up a bank account specifically for that. See if the actual monument maker can work out a payment plan that can be paid for over time.

          Take a look at these:

          I am so sorry for your difficult time. It's horrible that even in death we end up paying so much to pay tribute to the ones we love in life. Just be strong for him and his family. You sound like you are doing a great job. Head up!!
