Joy in Bereavement

01/05/2026

In addition to providing free brochures to hospitals, we often include items they can also gift to families after their baby passes away. Swaddles are one of the most requested items.

Many times, pregnancy and infant loss is sudden and families arrive to the hospital with an empty bag. We know firsthand that any item that a bereaved family leaves the hospital with becomes a cherished keepsake.

We wouldn’t be able to provide these keepsakes without your help.

To see a list of swaddles we would be grateful to accept as donations, comment SWADDLE and we will send you a link to these soft, muslin blankets. 🤍

All items can ship to:
Star Legacy Foundation
6400 Flying Cloud Drive, Suite 225
Eden Prairie, MN 55344

Please include your name, email and/or mailing address on the gift receipt so we are able to express our deepest gratitude. 🤍

Thank you for supporting a bereaved family in need.

We also earn a small commission for each sale which goes back to one of our goals of supporting families for free after the loss of a baby to stillbirth, pregnancy loss and infant loss. 🤍

🌸 Easter can be a bittersweet reminder of the moments that should have been - tiny hands hunting for eggs, pastel outfits laid out with love, first Easter baskets waiting to be filled. For so many, this season is a painful reminder of what’s missing. 💔

If you're facing this Easter without your baby in your arms, please know: you're not alone. Your grief is real. Your love is eternal. And your baby’s memory matters. 🤍

✨ We invite you to comment your baby’s name below so we can remember them with you. If you’re needing support, comment “support” and we’ll send you a link to our free, compassionate support groups for pregnancy and infant loss. You are not alone.

We see you. We’re holding space for your babies this Easter and always. 💫

Today is World Prematurity Day. 1 in 10 babies are born too soon (before 37 weeks).

Mamas, were any of your babies born prematurely? We'd love to hear about them and see pictures!

We know that not every baby makes it home after being born early, so we want to make sure to celebrate and remember ALL our premies today.

Sending all our love to our preemie mamas today. ❤
