Helping bereaved families honor the life of a child
We seek to compassionately lift a financial burden from families who have lost a child, and offer comprehensive bereavement care in the form of grief support groups and peer companions. Supporting New Jersey families who are in crisis resulting from the unimaginable tragedy of Pregnancy or Infant Loss.

Everyone’s grief journey is unique.

Sunday we heard from different people sharing about different types of losses.

We heard two fathers share their story. We heard an uncle sing a song dedicated to his niece. We heard two mothers share their story as well.

We also heard a story told from a sibling’s perspective. Our Walk chair Lizz Connor’s son wrote an essay for school called “The Sister I Never Had.” At the walk, Lizz’s daughter read that essay for us.

With permission to share from both Lizz and her son, here is that essay:

Today’s the day!!

Our closing ceremony will look a little different than we originally planned today.

Our live butterflies were ordered and the company scheduled them to be shipped Friday using overnight so we’d have them yesterday. (They come very chilled so the timing has to be precise)

However, we received notice from UPS yesterday that even though they were supposed to be shipped overnight, that we wouldn’t receive them until Monday.

No worries though. We have a beautiful flower petal ceremony that we will be closing with.

See you soon!

It’s a great weather weekend for our remembrance walk!!

A COUPLE REMINDERS

1) If you ordered t-shirts and would like to get them early, you can pick them up at the Gazebo on Ocean and 5th Avenue at 10:00am tomorrow.

2) We will determine the top fundraising team at noon tomorrow. (Saturday) The team that has raised the most funds (at that point) will lead our walk and carry the Hope Banner. (Just so you know, our top two fundraising teams are only $11 apart right now so it’s extremely close!)
