Loss of Baby comfort box

Loss of Baby Comfort Gift

$28.50

Death of a baby from miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, stillbirth or early infant death can be the most devastating loss a family can endure. Yet, we often do not know what to say or how to help. This Comfort Box conveys the love and support you wish to extend.

A 10% of all sales will be contributed to Mikayla’s Grace, a local non-profit whose mission it is to support families with a baby in the NICU and those who experience the death of an infant at Madison Area hospitals by providing NICU care packages and angel memory boxes that offer both practical and emotional support for the parents.

Why Tender Tears?

The idea for Tender Tears Comfort Gifts came out of my own frustration. When a loved one dies, I so want to comfort the grieving family and friends. I want to give them something that has meaning and may be useful long after the funeral. Flowers are the standard option, but they wilt and die. Plants can become a burden for the family to care for and usually when received the family is still in a state of shock and not aware of the gift. Not finding the right expression for my condolences, I started to put together comfort boxes with specially selected items that show compassion, support and love. Receivers of the comfort boxes were deeply touched. I was encouraged to make these boxes available for all.

Thus was Tender Tears born.

I hope you find these boxes meaningful and an extension of your own caring heart.

Warmly,
Linda

    “...the Box was full of wonderful, thoughtful gifts

    heart with me every day.” –Ann D.

   "After just losing a family member, in my case my cat Oreo, it was very
    calming and soothing to receive a gift like this from loved ones. It is
    very dear to know that while you are hurting there is someone out there
    who understands and is thinking of you at such a delicate time. I read the
    little book and it brought tears to my eyes, and the candle was so
    soothing as I said goodbye and I'll see you someday. It was just what I
    needed to help me let go."
