Walking with those who have experienced child loss
“Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.”
It’s OK That You’re Not OK: Managing Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn’t Understand by Megan Devine
Our Mission
To serve families who have experienced child loss by providing financial assistance with funeral-related expenses, access to licensed professional counseling, and long-term Commemorative Care.
Our Vision
To give access to this type of care to each family facing the horror of child loss in the state of Tennessee and beyond.
The state of Tennessee has one of the highest child mortality rates anywhere in the country, with, on average, over 900 families per year experiencing child loss. This mark puts Tennessee 24% above the national average in child loss. Where do families turn after they’ve lost a child?
We believe The Magnolia Foundation is standing in that gap and uniquely positioned to be a source of light in the darkest spaces of families’ lives.
