Thank you
We are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of love and support we’ve received over the last year. We feel blessed to have such a strong community surrounding us as we continue to navigate our lifelong journey as bereaved parents, and celebrate the short but meaningful life of our angel, Helen. With Helen’s Place, our hope is that every parent going through this very difficult journey can access the resources and support we have had in ours.
In particular we would like to thank our friends and family who have written, called, texted, visited, cooked, travelled, planned, ordered, gifted, donated, and have gone out of their way to make us feel loved and supported. We feel incredibly lucky to have each of you in our lives.
We would also like to thank:
Roger Neilson House
Roger Neilson House, and their Perinatal and Infant Loss bereavement program, led by our tireless grief counsellor C, without whom we would not have the tools and support to navigate our lifelong grief journey. We are able to walk this path, and be confident in our ability to parent our daughter because of the one-on-one counselling, peer support groups, resources, and sense of community they have provided to us, and many other families in the Ottawa area.
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, and our photographer Liz Bradley who gifted us with a collection of beautiful black and white photos of our little family of three. We treasure these images, and the beauty they capture, of the far-too-fleeting moments we were able to spend with our daughter.
Dzung Tran
Dzung Tran and his team of talented designers who selflessly donated their time and incredible talents to create all of the design and marketing materials for the launch of Helen’s Place. Our small little corner of the world is more beautiful because of you, and we are forever grateful for the gift you’ve given us and Helen.
An angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth, then whispered as she shut the book… too beautiful for Earth
