Creating safe spaces for community and connection
Channeling our collective grief in a meaningful way, all in loving memory of our babies who couldn’t stay.
Who we are…
In 2023, a small group of bereaved mothers came together with a beautiful idea of joining forces to create Memory Boxes for families experiencing the heartache of losing a much loved baby.
These boxes are not only a loving tribute to our own babies who couldn't stay, but a meaningful way to pay it forward. To channel our grief, love and experience into making a small difference for those who will come after us.
Since this time, our group has blossomed into a much larger community, gently welcoming bereaved mums from all stages of their journeys.
Together, we're making a big impact.
While we know nothing can erase the pain of losing a much loved and longed for baby, we hope our boxes offer some small comfort during what can be an isolating and stigmatised experience.
How we help…
We donate Memory Boxes and Miscarriage Keepsake Packs to hospitals across Western Australia, helping parents honour and remember their little ones.
We also provide compassionate support to families grieving the loss of a baby via our various peer support groups, craft days, packing events and social club.
Creating safe spaces for community and connection is our priority.
