We are an organization based in Montclair, NJ, which offers support to grieving parents and a safe environment in which they can share their stories and begin the healing process. As parents who have each experienced one or multiple losses during or shortly after pregnancy, we know how painful this time is and how important is to find support.

Pockets of Light recently donated a Mini Caring Cradle to Hackensack University Medical Center. The Mini Caring Cradle is designed to gently cool babies under 4 pounds who have passed, giving loss families the gift of more time. Thank you to the wonderful healthcare providers and staff at Hackensack for their dedication to supporting loss families!

To all of those dads out there who are missing their child - we see you and we are thinking of you. We hope you find a way to honor your baby, and yourselves, on this complicated day.

Be gentle on yourself. Your love for your baby is what makes your grief so painful. Although it’s hard to imagine right now, the intensity of your pain, guilt and anxiety will soften over time.

Pamela and Paul Caine, the founders of Griffin Cares Foundation, lost their son Griffin Matthew at 13 days old in 1996. For over 25 years, they have been working as activists, fundraisers, advisors, and mentors to help families connect with other families and access peer support, resources, and care following pregnancy or infant loss.

POL and Griffin Cares Foundation cohost our annual Getting Through the Holidays panel, and regularly refer loss parents to each other. We look forward to working together in the years to come!
