Our Programs

Cuddle Cot Placements

For hospitals, birth centers, and other eligible care facilities

A Cuddle Cot is a cooling device that allows a family to spend precious additional time with their baby after a stillbirth or infant death. Those hours are often the only ones a family will ever have.

The Foundation raises designated funds to purchase and place Cuddle Cots with participating care facilities at no cost to the facility or to families. Placement depends on available designated funding and coordination with each facility.

Care Packages for Grieving Mothers (Mom Care Packages)

For a mother after pregnancy, stillbirth, or infant loss

These packages are centered on the mother. They include gentle self-care items, written encouragement, and meaningful gifts chosen to say plainly: your grief is real, and you are not forgotten.

Approved care packages are shipped at no cost while supplies are available. Package contents may vary depending on donated items and current stock.

To request a package, complete the application. For questions, email carepackages@turninglossintolight.com.

Baby Remembrance Memory Boxes

For families keeping a baby’s keepsakes

This is a separate program from Care Packages for Grieving Mothers, and it is centered on the baby rather than the mother.

A Baby Remembrance Memory Box offers a dignified place to keep ultrasound images, hospital bracelets, footprints, photographs, letters, and certificates — the small, irreplaceable things that hold a whole life.

Sleeping Bags for Angels

For families of angel babies, made by volunteers

Volunteers sew and assemble handmade items for angel babies so that no baby goes without tenderness and dignity.

If you sew, knit, crochet, or would like to help assemble items, you are welcome to write to us about volunteering.

Free Grief Resources

For anyone, at any point in grief

The Foundation publishes free guides and gentle educational material on pregnancy loss, stillbirth, infant loss, rainbow babies, pregnancy after loss, and how loved ones can offer meaningful support.

Resources are free to download and keep. No purchase, membership, or payment is required, and nothing is sold on this site.

Peer-Support Communities

For mothers and families seeking connection

Moderated peer-support communities give families a compassionate place to be heard by people who understand this particular kind of loss.

Communities are free to join and open regardless of when your loss occurred. Write to us and tell us what kind of support you are looking for.
