The Best Friend's Guide to Baby Loss

One of the hardest parts of losing a baby is the stark absence of any ritual or protocol in our culture.  Our losses our often left unacknowledged and our experiences of parenthood are made to feel invisible.

That why I created the Butterfly Garden Gathering Kit. It contains everything you need- from thoughtfully worded invitations, sweet decor and a gentle art activity to create an experience  of acknowledgment and care to support your friend and honour a precious little life..
