Adult Grief - The healing process takes courage… like telling someone, with tears in your eyes, that you were once happily married, but now you live alone; or that Mother’s Day or Father’s Day has lost its meaning because your parent died; or that you had three children but only two are living. 

Cancer - All of our lives have been affected by cancer. Whether it is a parent, sibling, child, friend, teacher, neighbor, or ourselves, we all know someone who has survived, or died from, cancer. You are not alone. 

Children & Teen Grief - Children tend to be more affected by a loss than we acknowledge. Have the hard conversations and check in often. Questions and answers will often change as they grow, so be prepared to meet them where they are.

Infant Loss - Our hearts go out to parents at this most difficult time in their lives. We recognize the death of your baby as the human tragedy that it is. We have many items specifically made for you.

Holidays - It is natural for holidays and special occasions can be triggering for those who are grieving. Make a plan, communicate your needs, and honor the feelings of the others around you who are grieving as well.

Men & Grief - Many men have been conditioned by society to keep their feelings hidden.  The fact that, after a loss, it is more likely that a community will acknowledge a woman’s loss than a man’s reinforces the sense that they should keep their emotions inside. 

Pet Loss - Many people include their pets as members of their families. The lost of one that is so trusted and unconditional in their love is hard.

Spanish - We have had a number of our products translated into Spanish as well.

Spiritual - “Where was God when my loved one died?”   “What was God thinking when the floods came and we lost everything we had?” It is neither unusual nor inappropriate for any of us to ask such questions during times of deep grief. 

Suicide - If you know someone who is severely depressed or experiencing deep pain, do not be afraid to ask if they are having thoughts about suicide.  By taking the time to ask, you show that person that you care about them and take their pain seriously.  It also gives the person a chance to share their pain with you, and to realize that they are not alone.
