There are no words that can take away what you’ve been through. And we won’t try to fix something that cannot be fixed.

What we can do is remind you of this:

You are not alone in your grief—and you don’t have to navigate what comes next by yourself.

At On Angels’ Wings, our support does not end with the photos we provided. In many ways, that was just the beginning. We are here to continue walking beside you, offering support, resources, and opportunities to honor your child—whenever and however you are ready.

Sometimes the easiest way to stay connected isn’t through email or forms—it’s simply through familiar, everyday spaces.

Our Executive Director, Michelle Cramer, and Director of Support, Michelle Slavens (affectionately called “Michelle Squared” by many of our recipients), are both available to connect with you on Facebook. 

There is never any expectation to engage, respond, or share. You are welcome to simply follow along quietly, or reach out if and when it feels right.

 

Our Grief Recovery Program is available whenever you feel ready—whether that’s now, months from now, or years down the road.

This program is designed to help you:

• Process the weight of your loss in a healthy, supported way
• Navigate the complexities of grief that others often don’t understand
• Build life around your grief while still honoring your child

There is no pressure to participate. It will always be here when you are ready.

For families we served during birth or NICU loss, we offer a First Birthday Memorial Session to honor your child on their first birthday.

This can be a meaningful way to:

• Acknowledge your child’s life and place in your family
• Create space to remember and reflect
• Preserve this milestone in a way that feels right to you

In many of our larger service areas, we host annual “Remember Minis.”

These are short family photo sessions where you can:

• Update family photos each year
• Include meaningful items or symbols representing your child
• Ensure your entire family—including the child you lost—is always represented

These sessions are designed to feel safe, understanding, and free of explanation.

This can be a meaningful way to:

• Acknowledge your child’s life and place in your family
• Create space to remember and reflect
• Preserve this milestone in a way that feels right to you

If you have another child after your loss, we offer free maternity and newborn photography for your first rainbow baby. You get both, you don’t have to choose. We recommend maternity pictures between 32-36 weeks, so please request them by the time you’re at 25 weeks. Rainbow newborn pictures need to be done within the first month after baby arrives.

We understand how layered this experience can be—holding joy and grief at the same time. These sessions are approached with care, sensitivity, and deep respect for your full story.
