Butterfly Wings Perinatal Bereavement Services

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month is a month that opens up important conversations about the devastating impact the loss of a baby can have on families. Although October is now ending, these conversations must continue as the grief families feel doesn’t end today - it’s felt year round. We will continue to have these conversations so that no one has to walk alone in their grief. Thank you to everyone who assisted us throughout this past month to raise awareness and open up conversations.

Thinking of all families today - be gentle with yourself.

Just see it through our eyes. Walk a moment in these shoes. #IHaveFootprintsOnMyHeart #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness #breakthesilence #neverforgotten #alwaysloved #babyloss #miscarriage #stillbirth #infantloss #grief

We are so happy to have you join us Courtney St Georges!

This blog is so inspiring. Butterfly Wings will be using this idea to create our own Heart List with our families. What a wonderful way to show love and support to others during incredibly painful times.

So excited to see our lighting up the world in pink and blue in remembrance of all babies gone too soon during the month of October has started - stay tuned as we discuss this more in the coming months! Can’t wait to see how many houses next October will be lit up in pink and blue across our city, province, country and more....

At Project Robby, we recognize that all losses are devastating, and we hope to help break the silence surrounding pregnancy and infant loss. No matter what gestation your baby existed, your baby matters. What gestation was your baby at the time of your loss?

Well we certainly have had a lot of interest in those amazing sweatshirts we were wearing during the Wave of Light - we love ours so we know others would love to have one too. Michelle from La Boutique Berthiaume is a local company who created these for us and she has surprised us by telling us she wants to donate $5.00 for every sweatshirt sold to our organization! Thank you Michelle! If you would like one of these beauties you can contact La Boutique Berthiaume directly - they come in many different colours, sizes, styles. https://www.facebook.com/laboutiqueberthiaume/

Thank you for joining with us as we participated in the Wave of Light. Although we couldn’t be all together we loved reading your messages and seeing all the pictures you sent. If you have pictures of your candles lit, we would love to see them!

Below is the link to our Virtual Facebook Wave of Light Group page that will be running the live stream event tonight. Looking forward to seeing everyone there

Two more days until the Wave of Light! Looking forward to having everyone join us. We will be starting the live stream around 6:40 - 6:45. Be sure to refresh the Virtual Wave of Light page if you cannot see the live feed - it seems Facebook can be a bit fussy at times but if you refresh you will find us live.

All bags have now been delivered - if you had put your name in for one and didn't receive it, please private message us. And when you have your butterfly all decorated - please send us a pic as we would love to show them during the Wave of Light! Thanks everyone.

Deliveries of our Wave of Light bags has started! You will find one on your doorstep sometime this weekend. Thank you to The Lougheed Foundation and Katie Johnson for the donation of $500.00 we received to create these bags. We appreciate this so much!

Sending out a big thank you to Sudbury Community Foundation for providing us with a grant of 1190.00 to assist us with providing ongoing services to the many bereaved families in our community!
