The Titus Scott Foundation was created from love, loss, and the belief that grief deserves support not silence.

We serve families experiencing child loss by providing practical assistance, community connection and a deep understanding of the road ahead.

Almost 12,000 of you helped us honor his name. Now I’m asking you to help us give him a place for it. 💙

With his mama’s permission, we’re sharing more of his life and raising funds for his headstone.

If his story touched you, please consider donating or sharing. This is one piece we can help carry for his family.

You can find his headstone campaign through the link in our bio.

Hi, I’m Ashley, founder of The Titus Scott Foundation. 🫶🏽

There are a lot of things I could tell you about myself. I love music. I’m a classically trained pianist, and I’ve taught music for much of my life. I have nine children. I love the gym.

But if you’ve found us here, I want you to know about my son, Titus.

Titus died when he was four years old. He was such a big part of our family. He still is. He kept the laughs flowing, had the biggest opinions, threw the best tantrums, and loved the junkiest foods.

When I lost him, my world turned upside down.

I remember holding him in the middle of a highway, screaming at the top of my lungs. It’s a scream I would recognize anywhere, in any lifetime. I remember screaming into the void that something beautiful better come from this.

And then I spent years waiting for that beauty.

Eventually, I realized that no one else could assign meaning to my devastating loss. That was something only I could do.

I now work full time building The Titus Scott Foundation to help other families who have lost a child. Some days, I feel like I’m drowning and completely in over my head. And somehow, at the same time, I’m confident this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’ve never felt more aligned with my purpose than I do now.

In the last thirty days alone, we’ve connected over forty families to professional grief support, provided four headstones, and put the framework together to launch a sibling support group that mirrors our parent group.

These are families who love and miss their children. Who want to say their names. Who need somewhere to put even a little of what they’re carrying.

And we’re just getting started.

When I tell you I plan to change the world in Titus’s honor, I mean it. I’m going to do that. And I just happen to be delusional enough to believe it’s possible.

If you believe in this work, please help us keep going. Follow our page. Share this post. Consider donating. This work takes so much support and so much community.

Say Their Name Saturday 💙

Today, we say Kashton Tyre Odell Hall.

Born September 12, 2022, in Wilmington, North Carolina, Kashton died on September 8, 2026, just four days before his fourth birthday.

His family describes him as the smartest, funniest, most determined little boy, with a personality you couldn’t help but love.

Kashton loved learning new things. He would watch black and white documentaries just to learn, and at only one year old, he was already learning sign language and Spanish. He was gifted, curious, and so far beyond his years.

Kashton, your life matters. Your story matters. We are honored to say your name and help others know a little of the beautiful boy you were. 🤍

Please join us in saying Kashton’s name today.

Dr. Sontag puts into words what so many of us feel after losing a child: that we’re losing our minds. Hearing someone explain what grief does to us can help us feel a little less alone.

We meet the third Wednesday of each month in downtown Boise to learn about navigating life after the loss of a child, alongside others who understand. Have you ever felt this way?

There’s room for you here. We’d love to have you 💫🫶🏽

Calling all heroes! 🦸❤️

On March 13, 2027, The Titus Scott Foundation is bringing our community together in Caldwell for a fundraiser and banquet to support families after the loss of a child.

We’re planning a night of love, remembrance, and some incredible auction items. If you’ve been looking for a way to get involved, save the date. We’d love for you to be part of it.

More details are coming soon! ❤️

Say Their Name Saturday 🩵

Today, we say Otto’s name.

This one is dear to my heart. Otto’s mama was the first bereaved mama I met after Titus died. We live in different countries, but we’ve walked this path together for ten years. We often talk about our boys playing together somewhere.

Otto was a wild child who loved the forest, rivers, rocks and sticks. He loved dinosaurs, Monsters, Inc., his little sister, and hated wearing clothes. He avoided it whenever possible!

His mama says he LOVED compliments. So today, give someone a compliment in Otto’s honor, and help us say his name.

You aren’t behind. There are no stages to fall behind in.

At our first grief workshop, Dr. Sontag explained why the “stages of grief” can hurt bereaved parents. When anger returns, you might think you’ve gone backward. When you don’t feel acceptance, you might wonder what you’re doing wrong. The truth is, this loss is fully UNACCEPTABLE and every part of your mind and body knows it.

You’re not doing grief wrong. There is no timeline for loving and missing your child. 🩵
