Nurturing Families, one embrace at a time. Empowering Hope, Strengthening Bonds, Changing Lives
I lost my son at just 3 months and 9 days old. Faced with limited family support, I undertook the immense tasks of informing loved ones, financing his burial, and grappling with the grief of an unknown loss. After 23 years of searching for closure, I chose to have my son exhumed and cremated so that I could keep him close to me. Even now, I live with many unanswered questions and daily inquiries about why my child died, my decision to have him exhumed, and my ongoing grief.
In my research, I uncovered a significant resource gap for families experiencing similar tragedies, and filling this gap has become the mission of my foundation. Today, I passionately support families who have endured similar losses, offering comfort through phone calls, connecting them to grief counseling, and assisting with funeral arrangements.
I also engage with funeral homes, cemeteries, law enforcement, and others to raise awareness of these families' needs by sharing my story and providing educational materials. Through my journey, I strive to inspire hope and healing for others.
