Today, some fathers are holding a photograph instead of their child.

For them, that single image is everything. It's a moment frozen in time, honoring the baby they'll love for the rest of their lives.

đź’™ This Father's Day, you can help give another grieving dad that same gift. Every donation supports our mission to provide these portraits free of charge. https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/

"To the father who is experiencing his first Father’s Day while grieving the loss of a child, I want to encourage you to let it out this year. Pour your heart out with the people you love. Do not hide from what you feel. Sorrow is not a sign of weakness. Vulnerability is one of the greatest signs of strength. Our children deserve our deepest love, even when that love is expressed through grief.

Find ways to honor your child that bring you peace in the midst of pain. Share your sorrow with those who care for you, so the weight of it can be shared. Allow yourself to begin healing. And remember, healing is not forgetting. It is a way of honoring those we have lost.

To all the loving fathers reading this, Happy Father’s Day."

đź’™ These are the words of Samson, SJ's dad, and a member of our NILMDTS board. He wrote this for every father facing Father's Day without their child to hold. Read his full story: https://loom.ly/8svx-N4

“There are no words to describe the sacred moment in which a father holds his newborn son for the first time in his arms. In December of 2019, on New Year’s Eve to be exact, I became a father of not just one, but two boys. My twin sons. Luca and Daniel were born sleeping at 35 weeks, just ten days away from my wife’s scheduled c-section.”

🩵 Read the rest of Luca & Daniel's story on the blog, and donate below to honor fathers like Daniel. Your gift, of any amount, helps ensure no family goes without portraits of their most cherished moments.

He's holding it together for everyone else.

But look closer, and you'll see what grief costs a father.

When a dad loses a baby, he loses a future too — the first steps, the ballgames, the whole life he'd already imagined. And he's so often expected to carry that loss in silence.

This Father's Day, let's break that silence. Dads grieve too, and their grief deserves to be seen.

Your gift helps us provide remembrance portraits to families facing the unthinkable — including the dads who hold their pain behind a brave face.

"As a grieving father, I’ve learned that strength is not a monolith. It comes in the quiet moments by myself, mourning my child; it comes in the loud moments of well-intended ignorance from friends and family; it comes in the courage to have fun with your five year old who begs you to 'stop being sad for a little bit.' Because ultimately, once I viewed grief as the natural outcome of love, it became something that I learned to accept, to expect, and even embrace over time."

These are the words of Chris, father to Marion Rose, who wrote about grief and fatherhood for our blog. Read his full story: https://loom.ly/fDL6XWE

He never got to teach her to ride a bike. Never got a Saturday morning, a graduation, or a wedding toast.

He got one moment — and a single photograph to hold it in.

For these dads, that one picture is all they have. And it means the world to them.

đź’™ This Father's Day, you can make sure a grieving father has that one photograph to hold onto. Donate now at the button below or https://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/donate/

Dear Charlie... Letters to My Son is a beautiful tribute written by a father to his son Charlie. Through raw, honest letters, he shares the depth of a father's love and grief, a side of loss we don’t hear often enough. We are honored to share this book with our supporters and acknowledge the work that the Corvi family has done to raise awareness of NILMDTS services. The Corvi family has become a beacon of light and support for dads in the loss community.

This Father’s Day, we are thinking of all dads who carry the weight of love and loss. 💙
