Today we remember and honor a precious baby girl, Ruby Sapphire. 🤍🕊️

Ruby Sapphire’s life was brief, but her presence was powerful. At just 19 weeks and 6 days, she entered this world and was held lovingly by her mommy, who was grateful for the precious time they shared together.

Her mom shared, “She was such a light in my life through one of the toughest times in my life. She was my wake up call and the beginning of my healing journey.”

Ruby was loved in every moment -through every song sung, every conversation, and every dream of who she could have become. Her mommy shared, “I’m truly grateful to be called your mom, even though it was only for a short time.”

Sweet Ruby Sapphire, your life mattered. Your love changed your mommy forever, and your memory will continue to shine. Today we say your name, honor your life, and hold your family close in our hearts. 💗

Please join us in showing love and support to Ruby Sapphire’s mom.

🕊️ We stand with their families in grief, remembrance, and hope.

Today we honor and remember sweet Xavier-Thomas. 💙

Born sleeping on September 18, 2025, at 12:52 AM, Xavier-Thomas was deeply loved long before he entered this world and continues to be loved every day since.

His mommy, Mariah, shared, "Xavier was our saving grace. He was so loved by everyone and is missed so much. He was too perfect to be on this earth—God had another plan for him."

Xavier is lovingly remembered by his parents and his two sisters, Harmony and Sienna, who miss their baby brother dearly.

His family continues to carry both their love for Xavier and the unanswered questions surrounding his loss. Today we speak his name, honor his life, and hold his family close in our hearts.

Sweet Xavier-Thomas, you are loved beyond measure and remembered always. 💙🕊️

Please join us in showing compassion and love to Xavier’s family.

Healing happens in community.

TEARS is honored to partner with organizations like First Candle, Return To Zero: HOPE and International Vanishing Twin Syndrome Foundation for this year’s National Wave of Light in Washington, DC.

On October 15th, we invite you to stand with all of us as we honor our babies together at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

Today we honor and remember sweet Joydalís Mireya Worthy Correia. 💗

After two years of infertility, Joydalís was her mommy’s miracle baby-deeply loved, longed for, and cherished every single day. Her mother, Calvina, shared, “Losing her has forever changed my heart and my life.”

Due to complications from gestational diabetes, precious Joydalís was born sleeping at 31 weeks on December 31st at 2:41 PM.

Though her time here was far too short, she will always be remembered with love. Today we speak her name, honor her memory, and hold her family close in our hearts.

Thank you, Calvina, for trusting us to share your beautiful daughter’s story and helping bring awareness to stillbirth and pregnancy loss. Joydalís will never be forgotten.

Please join us in showing love and compassion to Joydalís’ family.
