Our Story
The Grief Closet idea was created after the devastating death of our daughter at birth in 2021. The unexpected and traumatic event left a hole in our hearts that most could not see. It created a longing for the public to know that our hearts were hurting and a piece of us was missing. We also quickly learned of the lack of support and understanding from the general public in how to support and honor someone who is grieving.
Providing our fellow community of grievers with thoughtful items to bring into their home and closet has been therapeutic and helpful for our own grief journey. Our hope is that through The Grief Closet we can help to normalize the topic of grief and help support people with ideas and easy ways to show their loved ones they are thinking of them. Wearing these items in public has been known to be a great conversation starter and allowed grievers to connect and share stories in unexpected places, while wearing these items at home has served as a comfort and source of support that validates feelings we hold inside.
Whether you are experiencing loss yourself, or providing support for family or a friend, we are sorry you're here. Our hearts go out to all those who grieve.
10 % of our profits will be donated to various non profit organizations fighting to end preventable stillbirth. See our "resources" page for more ways to support, and information on Stillbirth, Baby Loss, and Grief.
