It’s ! As we expand our grief outreach, we acknowledge that this season reminds many families of loss. The loss of a parent can leave a void of family traditions. Losing a spouse can leave a hole of unfulfilled dreams of togetherness. And losing a child is a careful calculation of every milestone never experienced.

Grief is an unavoidable aspect of life. This season reminds us that to know grief is to know love. Love heals.

When grieving, we’re often encouraged to let things go. No need to rush the process. There is no timeline. Do it your way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you want to let something go, start with those Thanksgiving leftovers still sitting in the fridge 😜

As the holiday season continues to unfold, remember it's okay to not be okay. Resist the urge to be all things to all people. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Focus on yourself. It’s okay.

When you experience child loss, it’s natural to want to hold on to your baby’s things. At Healing Footprints we understand that those “things” represent far more than simple material possessions. It’s a piece of your baby’s heart.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are currently curating Colby’s Room Thriftique, our online resale boutique. This program gives parents an opportunity to experience healing in a unique space. Donations of new and gently used items are resold to support the purchase of headstones for unmarked infant graves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Every closet has a story and we can’t wait to share the hearts of our angels.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
