Our Rock & Walk is a few weeks away!!!!

💜🦋 ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE GET MOST OFTEN… “DO I HAVE TO WALK?”
No. You can walk as much or as little as you want. 💜
Every family is invited to walk the Hope Lap in honor of their precious child. After that, it’s completely up to you.
Maybe you want to walk.
Maybe you want to sit, talk, cry, laugh, or simply be surrounded by people who understand.
There is no right way to participate. Just come as you are. 🦋
Our Rock & Walk is about so much more than walking. It’s about remembering your child, honoring their life, and reminding bereaved families that they are not alone.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED 💜
The TEARS Foundation is looking for compassionate hearts to help us support bereaved families during some of the darkest hours of their lives. 🤍
When a family loses a child, the road ahead can feel lonely and overwhelming. Through the love and support of our volunteers, we can remind them that they are not alone.
There are so many ways you can make a difference:
✨ Fundraising – Help us raise funds to continue supporting families.
💜 Event planning & set up – Help create meaningful events where families can connect, remember, and honor their children.
🧶 Crocheting – Create special handmade items filled with love and comfort.
🎁 Memory box making – Help create precious memory boxes for families to hold keepsakes and memories of their child.
🤍 Emotional support for families – Offer compassion, understanding, and a listening ear to those walking the difficult journey of loss.
You don't have to be an expert. You just need a caring heart and a desire to make a difference.
Your time. Your talents. Your kindness. They can mean more than you may ever know to a family who is grieving.
If you have been looking for a way to give back and make a difference in the lives of bereaved families, we would love to have you join us. 💜
Comment below, send us a message, or reach out to learn more about becoming a volunteer!
Together, we can make sure no bereaved family has to walk this journey alone. 🦋🤍

Grief is like glitter.

You can throw a handful of glitter up in the air, but when you try to clean it up... you never get it all.
Even long after the event, you will still find glitter tucked into corners… it will always be there. Somewhere.

💜 TO THE MOM OR DAD WHO STILL MISSES THEIR BABY…
I see you.
I know there are moments when the world keeps moving, while a part of your heart feels frozen in time.
I know what it’s like to miss someone you never got enough time with.
To wonder who they would be today.
To imagine their laugh, their smile, their little personality.
To think about the milestones you should be celebrating.
To carry a love that has nowhere to go but still lives so deeply inside you.
And I know how painful it can be when the world seems to forget.
But we haven't forgotten. 🦋
At the Rock & Walk, we remember.
We say their names.
We honor their lives.
We carry their memories.
We walk for the babies who should be here.
And we stand beside the parents who will love them for the rest of their lives.
You don't have to explain your grief here.
You don't have to be okay.
You can simply come as you are.
Because your baby matters.
Your love matters.
Your story matters.
And you matter. 💜

Maybe you haven't registered because it's hard.
Maybe you're not sure you can walk among so many reminders of what you've lost.
But maybe, just maybe, you need a place where your baby's name can be spoken out loud.
A place where someone else understands.
Come walk with us.
For the baby you carried.
For the baby you held.
For the baby you never got to bring home.
For the baby whose memory you carry every single day.
We will remember them with you. 💜🦋
