Emma's Footprints

Emma's Footprints Each of us at Emma’s Footprints has healed from our loss better and faster because of support we received from someone who has “been there”. A friend. A guide.

Emma's Footprints is a support community for families grieving infant and pregnancy loss, providing emotional support, compassionate guidance, and financial assistance for burial, cremation, memorialization, and counseling services. A caregiver. We’d be honored to provide that same compassionate care to you.

Happy Birthday, Falon! 🎉 🎈🎂Today we’re celebrating someone who is such a special part of the heart of Emma’s Footprints — the person most families first speak with when they reach out to Emma’s, Falon!

Falon first found Emma’s through her own loss of her son, Owen. What began as a search for financial support became a community, a place to grieve, and ultimately a calling to walk alongside other families. Since 2019, Falon has poured her heart into this organization, first through support groups and now as our Director of Intake and Grief Support.

Every day, Falon meets families in some of their hardest moments and reminds them that they don’t have to walk through this alone. Her compassion, wisdom, and understanding come from a place that is deeply personal, and the impact she has on the families we serve is immeasurable.

We are so incredibly grateful for Falon — for her heart, her strength, her honesty, and the way she continues to turn Owen’s memory into love and support for others.

We hope today you feel even a fraction of the love, appreciation, and gratitude that so many people have for you.

There is something incredibly powerful about seeing each baby's name displayed throughout our memorial walk. These signs serve as a beautiful reminder that every baby is loved, remembered, and forever part of our community.

If you'd like to honor your baby with a remembrance sign at our Melbourne, FL Memorial Walk, now is the time to place your order.

💙 Families can purchase a sign in memory of their baby.
💙 Businesses can sponsor a sign as a meaningful way to support families who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss.

Happy Birthday, Riki! 🎈🎂🎉 Today we’re celebrating Riki, our dedicated Board Secretary. After the loss of her daughter, Eleanor Jean, Riki found her way to Emma’s Footprints and experienced firsthand the support and compassion that can make such a difference in the journey through grief. She went on to become a volunteer and now serves on our Board of Directors, giving back to the community that once supported her.

We are so grateful for Riki’s heart, dedication, and the many ways she continues to help Emma’s Footprints and the families we serve.

Wishing you the happiest birthday, Riki! We hope you feel so loved and celebrated today.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲: In this episode, we talk with Kristen Payne and Spencer Johnston to hear the story of their son, Derrik.

Derrik was born happy and healthy on June 1. Then, in the early morning hours of June 7, everything changed. Kristen woke to feed her baby and realized he wasn’t responding. In a moment of unimaginable fear, she called 911 while Spencer began CPR. Despite their efforts, Derrik was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 4:30 a.m.

Kristen and Spencer open up about the devastating loss of their son and the profound impact it had on their lives and their relationship. Their grief ultimately changed the course of their partnership, and they now navigate life separately while continuing to co-parent their living child.

Each year, the Emma’s Footprints Memorial Walk brings together families, friends, and community members to honor the babies who are deeply loved and never forgotten while raising funds to support families who have experienced a pregnancy or infant loss.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲: In this episode of Confessions of a Grieving Mother, we talk with Kim Setterlund to hear the story of her son, Dylan, who was born at 22 weeks and 5 days.

Kim shares the unexpected circumstances that led to her premature labor after a placental abruption while she was working at a daycare. Dylan fought bravely during his time in the NICU. Despite his strength, Dylan developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), a serious intestinal condition that ultimately left his doctors with no surgical option that could save his life. Kim and her family were faced with the heartbreaking decision to remove Dylan from life support.
