The Art of Connection

Connection is so necessary in this day and age especially once your child dies. I looked everywhere to find someone who could relate to what I was going through because it could not possible be the reality of my life. Living without my child will never be something that makes sense to me as he should be here with me but being able to support other parents through this reality is something I know I need to do.

Lachlan's Light was created as I was looking for something specific that I could not find in Canada. I could not find a resource that I could attend for a weekend like this and I wanted to create it. I tried to reach for the things that I knew were healing for me and bring them together in a way to support other mothers who also did not know where to turn. We have now had over 38 moms enter our space along with their babies and I could not be more grateful.

This space is curated in a way that it allows you to feel safe and held in a way that does not happen after your child dies. It feels like your walls are always up and your game face needs to be on for the most part on a daily basis. When you walk into this space your walls naturally come down and you feel lighter, you allow others to see you in your deepest darkest moments and your lightest without even realizing it.

As we enter year 10 for Lachlan we are going to be adding new in person events (with ways to virtually participate) and ways to honour your babies along with us as they light our way through this life. We want to make this year a HUGE celebration of his life and the 10 years that he has changed us as parents. I wish so badly all our babies were here and we will honour them alongside you as long as we live. Please join us as we celebrate the amazing 33 weeks we had with our boy.
