These words from Mason Petit are a reminder worth carrying into the weekend.

His story reminds us that asking for help isn't a sign of weakness. Sometimes, it's the beginning of feeling less alone.

What a special evening at the Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation’s Texas Icons event!

We loved seeing our Co-Founder, Tara Storch, serve as an Honorary Chair and having our Director of Grief Support Services, Hannah Showalter, there to celebrate alongside her.

It means so much to have partners who believe in our mission and care deeply about the families we serve.

Thank you to the Baylor Scott & White Irving Foundation team for including us and for continuing to show up for donor families! 🩵

Men grieve, too.

After losing his wife, Connie, Mason Petit struggled with grief and the belief that he had to face it alone. Today, he helps others navigate loss as a volunteer grief support group facilitator with Taylor's Gift.

The people we love never stop being part of our story.

Sometimes, we keep their memory close through the little things. A favorite song, a family tradition, a recipe they loved, or a story that still makes us smile.

There’s no right or wrong way to honor someone we’ve lost. What matters is finding ways to carry their love and memory with us.

We’d love to hear from you: What’s one way you keep your loved one’s memory alive?

When the world moves on, donor families still need support.

Our Co-Founder, Tara Storch, recently shared this important message at AATB Congress 2026 in San Francisco.

Through Taylor’s story, Tara reminded the donation and transplantation community that behind every gift of life is a family navigating loss, and that their need for compassion, connection, and support continues long after donation.

Thank you to AATB for inviting Tara to be part of this important conversation and for helping keep donor families at the heart of it.

Sometimes, the greatest comfort in grief comes from hearing someone say, “I understand.”

For donor families, connecting with others who have experienced a similar loss can make a meaningful difference. Through Taylor’s Gift's virtual support groups, families have a space to share memories, talk openly about grief, and find comfort in knowing they are not alone.

In The Gift of Perspective, our Director of Grief Support Services, Hannah Showalter, explores why peer support matters and how connection can bring hope to families navigating loss.

Grief support shouldn't end when a family leaves the hospital.

Through our partnership with Baylor Scott & White Medical Center - Irving, we're helping make sure donor families have access to compassionate, ongoing support after the loss of a loved one.

Through this two-year pilot program, families can connect with trained Caring Guides, participate in virtual support groups, and access resources in English and Spanish, all at no cost.

We're grateful to Baylor Scott & White Irving for recognizing that caring for donor families extends far beyond their time at the hospital. Together, we're making sure more families know they don't have to navigate grief alone.

Every donor family has a story worth sharing. 🩵

Today, we're grateful to highlight Jan, who is sharing her experience of losing a loved one who became an eye or tissue donor through the Donor Family Storytelling Initiative.

Through our collaboration with Explore Transplant, we're helping bring more donor family voices into the conversation about grief, love, and the lasting impact of donation.

Thank you, Jan, for sharing your story and helping other families feel less alone.

At the heart of Taylor’s Gift is a simple belief: donor families should never have to navigate grief alone.

Next week, our Co-Founder Tara Storch will bring that message, and Taylor’s story, to San Francisco for the Association for Advancing Tissue and Biologics Congress.

During “When the World Moves On: The Power of Donor Family Grief Support,” Tara will share why continuing to show up for donor families after donation matters, and how feeling seen, understood, and supported can make a meaningful difference.
