Porter, IN 46304

Any person or family impacted by pregnancy and infant loss, and those who love us, are invited to attend. Historically, individuals and families travel statewide and beyond to attend our annual Hearts Release events. This is a warm, inviting, comfortable event with plenty of space for you to come as you are. We’ll be able to meet new people and have an important connection. Sierra Pearl Photography, the extraordinary professional photographer, will also be there. If you want to make even more of a weekend of it, feel welcome to stay one or two nights at the Spring House Inn, where we will have cozy meeting rooms for chatting and a bonfire circle in the evenings. Call them to place your reservation and mention stillbirthday for special savings.

My daughter is wanting to have more of an active role in the Hearts Release event, so we’re introducing ideas this year that she has thought of – the weekend is her idea, as a time for moms and families to connect more. She is envisioning us entering into the waters to release the Hearts, so you might plan on packing a towel and something you can wade into the water in.

Feel welcome to join our primary facebook page, Hearts Release fb page, and our 2024 Hearts Release event page (we’ll make one soon).
We’ve added a feature here where you can share your beloved babies’ names. You also can share on either of our facebook pages.

BIRTH & BEREAVEMENT QUOTES

« ‹ 5 of 16 › »

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.

— Paulo Coelho

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

— Thich Nhat Hanh

You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy.

— John Calvin
