The Haven Network is an independent Christian ministry offering life-affirming services, providing compassionate practical support for families who have experienced or are experiencing the death of a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, SIDS, or early infant death—as well as for families facing a terminal diagnosis for their pre-born or newborn baby.
We strive to help parents build lasting memories of their precious little one, so that even in the midst of deep sorrow, they may look back with comfort, knowing they did the very best for their baby and family. All of our services are offered at no cost to the families we serve.
“Grief does not stop once you leave the hospital, nor does it stop after a funeral or memorial service. It is a lifelong process that softens over time, but never ends.”
— Stephanie Grimm
The care and support provided by The Haven Network does not end once families leave the hospital. It does not end once keepsakes and photographs are placed in their hands.
That is simply the beginning.
We walk with families for as long as they need us. In the hospital, we create space for love and remembrance—caring for their baby, capturing photographs, and making keepsakes. Beyond those first sacred moments, we continue to provide:
-
Regular well-checks and follow-up care
-
In-person and online support groups
-
Access to our Grief Care Program and our SHARE library
-
Special remembrance events throughout the year
-
Personalized remembrance on due dates, anniversaries, and every day in between
The death of a baby is a profound tragedy, touching not only moms and dads, but grandparents, siblings, and entire families. Everyone needs a safe and gentle place to turn—a community of people who truly understand. The Haven Network is that place.
If you or someone you love has lost a baby, we encourage you to reach out. Find the support you need, connect with other families walking this same journey, and discover your safe place to grieve.
At The Haven Network:
- We believe each baby is handcrafted by the Triune God and is a valued member of the human family.
- We believe each baby, pre-born or newly born, is worthy of tender, palliative care until natural death.
- We believe every family member, regardless of race or creed, deserves to be treated with honor and dignity.
- We recognize that parents have the primary role in caring for their baby and deserve support and encouragement, enabling them to be the best parents possible in their time of grief.
- We are honored, as staff and volunteers, to be the servants of Christ and will strive to model His example of compassionate care.
