Memory-making opportunities can provide significant emotional support for families facing the impending loss of a child.
It offers families a way to honor their child’s life, create meaningful experiences, and find comfort during a profoundly difficult time.
Engaging in memory-making activities helps families create meaningful, tangible reminders of their child. These memories can offer comfort and a sense of connection long after the child has passed.
By focusing on creating positive experiences and capturing moments of joy, families can celebrate their child’s life and individuality, reinforcing the love and bond they share.
Memory-making can give families a sense of purpose and a way to actively participate in the child’s final days.
Activities like art, writing letters, or making handprints provide outlets for expressing feelings that may be difficult to articulate verbally. This can be a therapeutic way for family members to process their emotions.

What a beautiful gift to be able to give to families, Angeline, thank you!
We’re so lucky to be living in such a techno-advanced world when it comes to things like this where we can record a child’s voice or do a video that the parents can hold onto once they’ve lost a child. A very precious friend lost their son 30 years ago when he was 18 months old, to a very rare genetic abnormality and the only things they have to remember him are a few yellowed photographs and some clothes that they’re terrified will become damaged. Memory making wasn’t really the ‘done thing’ in those days. I’m so glad were living in a time when we can do the things we do, and I can only imagine what’s instore for us in the future!
