How Finley's Friends was born...
Turning pain into purpose.
It was 6th April 2023 when my whole world came crashing down. I was told the words that no expectant person wants to hear, “I’m so sorry, there is no heartbeat.” Our dear little Finley had entered the gates of the afterlife before we even got the chance to meet and make memories with them.
Anyone who has been in this or a similar situation knows that it is a moment that vividly sticks with you forever and no matter how much time passes, the pain and grief still remains the same…you just learn how to move through the rest of your life with it. Eventually it becomes less all consuming, but you never forget…
And so, Finley’s Friends was born.
What We Stand For
Our Mission
Miscarriage and pregnancy/infant loss can feel quite isolating and deeply personal. Those in ‘the club’ are catapulted into all the hormonal shifts of matrescence yet have no baby to hold at the end of it. Many supporting those navigating pregnancy/infant loss often don’t know what to say or do to best support their loved ones.
Our mission is to provide thoughtfully curated comfort and remembrance boxes that honour every pregnancy and baby, while offering meaningful and practical support, connection and compassion to families navigating pregnancy or infant loss.
Through personalised keepsakes, carefully selected comfort items and resources we want to remind grieving parents that their loss matters, their baby is remembered and they are not alone, all while supporting the amazing work that the Pink Elephants Support Network does in this community.
Our Vision
