Bereavement, My Baby is No Longer Here

If you have just lost your baby to cancer. We are so sorry. We’ve walked in your shoes. Our baby, Maddy, lost her battle in August of 2022.

We hope this helps you feel less alone.

Some words of love:

We know what it feels like. To go through treatment. To be told your baby’s chance of survival is low. To stay so hopeful. To have plan “A, B, and C” turn into, “you have no more options.” To do everything you can for that final compassionate treatment, for that last inkling of hope, anything to hold on to. And then, to walk away from the hospital without your baby. To plan their celebration of life.

We know it’s impossible. We know the anguish. And, we know that everyone has different experiences of grief. And, while we don’t have many answers, what we do want you to know is that you are not alone.

We would love to honor your baby at our Bow Bash. If you’d like us to say the name of your baby at our events, please share their name and story with us. We are so honored to remember.

If you are in need of support, we know some organizations that can help:
