About Us
We became members of a club nobody ever wants to be in: the bereaved parents club. If that is you too I am so sorry. But I want you to know that you are not alone in this and that you and your precious baby are dearly loved.
After our baby died, every day was triggering and exhausting on so many levels. We scoured the internet and libraries to find some hope that we were not alone and we would [somehow] survive. We noticed how there were healing words deep in the pages of old books no longer in print, websites older than the internet, and in the hearts of people who have also felt this pain. Eventually, we did find friends and resources that were an amazing help for us. Part of honoring our daughter's little life has meant giving back to the baby loss community in every way possible.
Our goal is that this site is concise, validating, and helpful. All of these resources were something that we found helpful for us or our friends going through the same thing, so we hope this is can be a gift to you. As we honor and remember our sweet baby girl, Gemma Hope, we hold space in our hearts for yours.

Current Projects
There are numerous other ways that we help parents grieve and remember their child:
- Bereavement Book Carts - numerous locations
- Memory Wall & Legacy Stories
- Online organization directory/resource articles
- Charlotte Perinatal Bereavement Conference
- Supportive bereavement supplies for hospitals
- Memory keepsakes for grieving parents
The best way you can help us is by sharing, donating, & fundraising for book carts & more resources! We can't do any of this without you and your precious babies' memories.
Future Projects
- Financial support fund for funerals, counseling, and lost income
- Support groups & events
- Free breastmilk bags & pumps for loss moms donating their breastmilk
- Discounted editing/publishing services for moms wanting to share their story or poetry and support our mission
- Funeral home body bags made specifically for micropreemies and very small babies that are modern, sweet, and cozy for their little bodies
- Opening up a coffee shop/truck that provides adequate employment to parents who are unable to return to work while also providing free counseling and mental health resources as part of the employee benefits. This dream would also help fund our other projects and programs and spread our message, one cup at a time.
