At Precious Wings, we believe that compassionate and well-equipped health professionals play a crucial role in supporting bereaved families. The way families are cared for in the immediate aftermath of losing a child can profoundly impact their grief journey.

One of the most powerful tools we provide is the memory box—not just a gift, but a meaningful way for health professionals to initiate gentle conversations, offer guidance, and help families create lasting memories. We know that these moments are incredibly challenging for both families and staff, and many health professionals express feeling helpless, unsure of what to say or do. The memory box offers a tangible way to bring comfort and support, helping to create something positive amidst heartbreak.

We are immensely grateful to the dedicated hospital staff who play a vital role in delivering these memory boxes and supporting families during the most devastating moments of their lives. Your role is invaluable, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Empowering Health Professionals Through Education

Education is a cornerstone of our mission at Precious Wings. We aim to ensure that every health professional feels confident, supported, and equipped to provide compassionate bereavement care and facilitate meaningful conversations with families. Our goal is to create consistency in bereavement support, ensuring families have every opportunity to preserve precious memories and receive the care they need.
