Dealing with the sudden loss of a child is a horror no parent should ever have to bear. It can be incredibly difficult and isolating experience.  At Candles in the Dark, we recognize that having someone to talk to during this time can make a meaningful difference.

We are dedicated to reaching out to families who have experienced the loss of an infant. This organization was founded out of the pain our family experienced following an infant death in 2003 and again in 2009 due to Sudden Infant Death syndrome. Our volunteers are here to offer emotional support and have received specialized training from parents who have been in shoes and have managed to find a way forward. We are here in your darkest hour to help provide a glimmer of hope. Like a candle in the dark, we help families navigate their grief and feel less alone in their journey.

Candles in the Dark aims to provide support and comfort to the families who recently lost an infant through a grief hotline with a focus on SIDS education and support. Through forms of communication including email, texts, and virtual meetings, families will be matched with a volunteer who has received grief support training in infant death in order to fulfill an unmeant need for support and resources in a time of tragedy.
