You guys showed up for the Holiday Market on Saturday! 👏 We are so grateful for our wonderful volunteers and almost 30 vendors, who made this day a big success. The day ran smoothly, and it was a joy to interact and gather around the mission of HRF — to serve families who have experienced child loss.

Thanks for all who came to shop and support local artisans. We sold out of soup and chili and almost out of homemade donuts. (They were incredible!) With much gratitude, we are happy to report that we raised almost double the amount for HRF as we did at the 2024 Market. 🙏 🎉

We are looking forward to hosting the Holiday Market again in 2026. We hope you can join us! If you’d like to join our email list to stay updated on the Foundation and events (including vendor sign-ups and more photos from this event), please send us a private message.

Next up: We are celebrating the impact of HRF and looking ahead at our Gala, happening January 10, 2026. You’re invited! 💫

The HRF board made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Butterfly Release Brunch event. This would have been our fifth annual event, and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve the countless families and individuals who have joined us on their healing journey.

Many factors went into this decision including personal challenges in the lives of our planning team, lack of volunteers, and low registration only weeks out from the event. One of the unique things about the butterfly release is how we personalize and honor each life lost, and this task takes our team time to prepare. We apologize for not getting the event registration broadcasted earlier. From the bottom of our hearts, we are sorry to announce this year’s event postponement.

Additional information was sent out via email. Please let us know if you’d like to added to our email list!

Everything is falling into place to make this day truly special!

We would be honored to have you with us—whether you are attending as a guest, in memory of a child loss, or volunteering your time to support the event.

Holding bereaved mammas close to our hearts today. Praying you can find glimmers of joy in remembering the sweet moments. 💞

March 25th is “Say Their Name Day”

It’s a day in the midst of busyness where we can take a moment to pause and come alongside friends or family in our lives who could be grieving the loss of a pregnancy, infant or child loss. ❣️

How to use slides: choose to share one or multiple names, share to your story, add text to slide & place the child’s name or name(s) to repost in stories. Tag parents to show your love!

Posting a slide to honor a child’s life and show support to a family is really a simple gesture of many. Take it an extra step further at some point today or this week to find a way to serve the individual or family in a special way. 💫

Acts of kindness provide opportunities of connection and healing. 💔❤️❤️‍🩹

Call for Impact is TOMORROW ✨

It’s not too late to come learn more the impact the Haven Rose Foundation is having on our local community - March 15th at 9:30-11:30am!

From the family that has experienced the loss to the counselor or neighbor that wants to find holistic support - our team will equip on simple ways to share hope with those in our community that have experienced the devastation of child loss. ❤️💔❤️‍🩹

The Pedersen Family has made the very difficult decision of postponing Micah’s Egg Hunt until 2026.

They are in a season of needing to focus on some serious health related issues. Please respect their privacy during this time and be praying for them. 🙏🏻

The Pedersens and HRF look forward to all of the egg-citement again next year! 💛

There are so many answers to this question…

Here are some of the most important reasons that keep HRF motivated and mission focused:

🩶 it reduces feelings of isolation for the family hurting
🩶 creates a sense of community and hope
🩶 it helps the family or individual avoid unhealthy coping mechanisms
🩶 helps the family move forward in adapting to a new normals of living life

Burdens are not meant to be carried alone. 💗

Even with the ebbs and flows of grief, the HRF is here and hope that there were moments of JOY weaved through your Christmas and pray that they continue into the New Year! 🙏🏻
