Through the Heart provides Comfort Kits free of charge to individuals, couples and families who have recently suffered a pregnancy loss. Each kit comes full of items to pamper you. Information about our organization and a handwritten note from our co-founder are also included to add a personal touch. While nothing can take away the pain of a loss, it is our hope that this kit will provide some distraction during a difficult time and provide resources to begin healing. But the support does not stop there! We know that pregnancy loss is an ongoing process and we want to ensure that you have the resources you need long-term. In addition to the initial kit, each recipient also receives 2 notecards: one to check in at 3 months post-loss and one at the one-year anniversary. Additional resources include guides for how to cope with loss, online support meetings, and more.

Every family should have the right to bury their child, and it should not cause heartache- in the most difficult times to make those arrangements. We realize that very few families would find the same resources that were made available to us. We wanted to provide the same level of support for others and could only do so by creating the Little Souls at Rest Foundation. Little Souls at Rest Foundation helps provide burial resources following miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. We specialize on providing burial plots for babies lost from conception to 23 weeks.

If you have experienced a loss from conception to 23 weeks, we provide:

• a cemetery plot for your little soul.

• a time and place where your family can have a burial ceremony, as a group or privately.

• The hospital should provide you with a small container with your child’s remains.

• We also have the resources to provide a small casket as well.

If you have experienced a loss from 23 weeks through infant loss:

• We will be your point of contact.

• We have a burial package that helps your family focus on healing, while we provide dignified options for you during this difficult time.

• We will provide you access to our special network of cemeteries.
