Colorado Gives Day Campaign

“It feels like a branch from our family tree has been torn off. A small branch, one whose presence completed us, had been ripped from our family and left a large wound. Without it, we were lopsided and off balance. When my other children were born, they did not replace the fallen branch, but created a new branch all their own.”

The loss of a baby or child of any age is an unthinkable loss. 

The ensuing grief can feel all-consuming, and the pain can be beyond description. 

It is often difficult to find the will to carry on in everyday life, and the grief journey can seem endless. The bond between parent and child is so strong and bereaved parents do not “get over” the death of their children. There is no closure, but there is, eventually, an acceptance, a new life, a different life. One that will always include your child, but one that looks different than it did before.

3Hopeful Hearts supports families in the following ways:

• Listening sessions for parents, siblings, grandparents, and other family dynamics

• One-on-one or couples support for child loss

• Grief support at the hospital, funeral, and funeral home

• Therapy through art sessions and camps specifically designed for certain groups:  family, couples, Dads, Moms, siblings

• Grief literacy efforts for occupational settings, workplace retention, and schools

• No child is forgotten!  No matter how long ago the death was, the supported family receives a handwritten card acknowledging the birthday and date of death of each child.

• Grief/care baskets and teddy bear program

A donation today will continue the mission of 3Hopeful Hearts and allow for families to receive services at no cost.
