For The Newly Bereaved
While we are so glad that you have found our organization, we recognize that if you’re reading this, chances are you or someone dear to you has endured the painful experience of infant loss, and for that, our hearts ache with you.
The saying, “This is the club no one ever wants to be a part of” rings painfully true.
I understand how this journey can feel incredibly isolating, and in the depth of this profound sorrow, I hope my words will reach you and serve as an extended hand, gently reminding you that, even though it may feel otherwise at times, you are not alone.
There is no right or wrong way to grieve, and I want to remind you that you are allowed to seek whatever paths to healing are right for you.
The Grief Of Parents When A Child Dies
About Us
We create special bereavement boxes that are delivered to the NICU, ensuring that hospitals have them readily available for nurses to promptly provide to families experiencing neonatal loss during the unexpected and life-altering moments when parents are forced to say their goodbyes.
For many families, one of the most difficult moments is when their baby’s physical form is separated from them, whether by a nurse taking the baby to the hospital morgue, a funeral home staff member placing the baby in a box, or the couple leaving the NICU room with the baby’s physical form still there. Having the option to hold something that keeps them connected to their baby may provide a small comfort during such an impossible transition.
During this traumatic time, countless compassionate individuals, including medical professionals and the loved ones of bereaved parents, are eager to offer any form of solace. However, understanding what could possibly be helpful at a moment like this is something that can only be grasped through personal experience. This understanding is the driving force behind the existence of Lambie’s Love and why our bereavement boxes are designed by our founder, a fellow bereaved parent. This is also why our bereavement boxes will always remain a central focus of our mission and be provided free of charge to these grieving families.
Each month, we honor new families who have lost children by donating bereavement boxes. With every donation, Lambie’s Love strives to accomplish three main goals: honoring families who have already experienced loss by making that month’s donation in their child’s name, providing care for future families with our special bereavement box gifts, and sincerely expressing our gratitude to the NICU nurses and medical teams who tirelessly work for their patients and families.
