You are not alone in your grief.
We know the pain of losing a baby, and we are here for you.
If you are a parent who has a lost a baby, or know someone who has, we are here to provide community support, healing and remembrance.
We envision a community in which no one has to endure the loss of a baby on their own.
We are also grieving parents on our own journey who want to create community to grieve together.
Alive In My Heart is a 501(c)(3) Ohio non-profit organization that supports parents who have lost a baby during pregnancy or infancy by connecting them to each other and to community resources.
No two losses or stories are the same. Our journeys may be different, but we do share the understanding of how painful it is to have one or more babies we miss.
How Alive in My Heart connects you to community and resources.
Building community through remembrance events to connect impacted individuals to each other and create space to remember our babies.
Sharing a variety of grief resources to help those we serve in finding the support that is meaningful to them.
Educating and training healthcare and service providers who interact with grieving parents.
Supporting grieving parents who meet our financial need guidelines through our grant program called the PAIL Financial Grant Program.
Celebration of Bereaved Mothers and Fathers
EventsMay 31st 10-noon at Co-Hatch Westerville
This is a time to honor those moms and dads and the love they have as parents to the baby or babies they miss.
The season of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day can be painful, and our parenthood to the babies we miss can be overlooked.
We hope that by carving out space and time to focus on the love we have for these babies we can all find some healing in remembrance.
To create an environment that is as supportive as possible, this event is only for grieving parents and their support people, and it will be an adults only event.
Take-home remembrance craft, reading of baby names, and refreshments
Our craft will be customized resin landscapes with Craft Your Night – examples can be seen at this link (but please RSVP on our google form not this eventbrite)
