In our weekly conversations, we make space for bereaved parents to share their experiences, because no one should have to endure child loss alone.

This week, we want to know: what’s the most helpful thing someone could say to a parent who’s just lost their child?

Today, our co-founder Ben shares his favorite item from our Bereavement Boxes: the Memory Catcher Journal.

After a child dies, you’re focused on getting through the day. In the months that follow, memories often get foggy.

But memories of our kids are some of the most precious things we have.

Our Memory Catcher Journal includes prompts to help you remember everyday moments with your child and the little things that made them unique.

In addition to being part of our Bereavement Boxes, it’s also available to you for free. Check out the link in the first comment.

When we were newly-bereaved parents, we didn’t have the resources or community we have today.

That’s why we created our Bereavement Care Boxes with the comfort items and practical resources we wish we’d had when our children first died.

Here’s what’s inside:
🦋 Practical resource card
🦋 Step-by-Step Guide
🦋 Memory Catcher Journal
🦋 Wildflower butterfly seeds
🦋 Photo memento
🦋 Eye masks
🦋 Worry stones
🦋 Butterfly connections charms
🦋 Breakable keepsake
🦋 Grief wristband

If you had received a box like this after your child died, which item would’ve been most helpful to you?

Is there anything you’d add?

Your feedback is extremely valuable to us as we continue to build our Funeral Partner Program. We’d be so grateful to hear from you.

Our friends at Luella's Lodge are hosting their last retreat of the year for grieving moms on November 5–8 in Oakwood, Illinois.

They welcome moms at any stage of their bereavement journey, who've lost children of all ages, from miscarriage through adult children. We highly recommend attending a retreat, as it's a truly powerful way of connecting and building community.

In our free Funeral Partner Program, we partner directly with caregivers to provide Bereavement Boxes to families in the immediate aftermath of a child’s death.

When deciding what would be included in each box, we consulted grief professionals and drew on our experiences of child loss and parenting bereaved children.

Our goal with these boxes is to give parents something tangible in the first days and weeks after loss, and to empower funeral professionals with resources that are actually helpful.

Boxes are available for free to a limited number of caregiver partners and the families they serve. However, at $75 per box to produce, we need funding to expand the program. To empower us to reach more caregivers and grieving families, please consider making a gift of any amount using the link in the first comment.

Last year, 22 of you participated in our Wave of Light tribute on October 15, honoring our children who’ve died.

It was a deeply meaningful way for us to remember them together, and we hope you’ll join us again this year.

To be included, email us your child’s name and photo to [email protected] by October 12, and we’ll create a special tribute just for them.

Thank you for being part of a community where no one has to endure child loss alone.

We’re getting ready for our annual Wave of Light tribute on October 15.

At 7PM local time, people around the world will light a candle in honor of a child who’s died. Together, those candles will create a wave of light in their memory.

Who will you be remembering this month?

If you’d like your child to be part of our Wave of Light tribute, please email us at [email protected] with their name and a photo.

We’ll share their light on social media and in our email newsletter on October 15, and light a candle for them.

It’s a gift to shine their light.
