This is our faith —

At the heart of Something to Hold is a deep, unwavering faith in Jesus. It’s the very foundation that has carried us through the hardest days of our lives and the guiding light behind everything we do.

We know the pain of pregnancy and infant loss. We’ve lived it. We’ve longed for babies we never got to hold. But even in that sorrow, we believe there is purpose—because we serve a God who doesn’t waste a single tear.

Our goal is the Gospel

Sharing the stories of our little ones to bring the good news of Jesus Christ, share the hope of heaven & use the truths from His Word — the Bible. We do this by gifting blankets that offer a tangible comfort during a heartbreaking loss. These blankets carry an invitation into our mission — to gather, share & serve. By attending our events, community is formed. In all of this, our faith is shared & the moms are encouraged to carry on the purpose of their little ones with the opportunity to serve this mission.

We believe that life begins at conception & holds purpose. They are known & loved by God before they ever take a breath. That truth is what fuels our mission. Because our babies matter. This is how we know this to be true:

Psalm 139:13-16 "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. ... Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me."

Isaiah 49:1 "The Lord called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name."

Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated (devoted for a holy purpose, set apart) you.”

Clinging to our hope that is in heaven —

We don’t pretend loss is easy. It breaks you. But we also believe in a hope that’s bigger than this world. A hope that says death isn’t the end. Because of Jesus, we believe we will see our babies again.

“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.” —Revelation 21:4

“Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.’” —John 11:25

This is the hope that sustains us. It’s why we do what we do—not just to send blankets, but to offer comfort rooted in truth. To remind families that God sees them. That He is near to the brokenhearted. That they are not alone.

Assurance of Salvation for Those Incapable of Belief

  • 2 Samuel 12:22-23 After the death of his infant son, King David says, "I shall go to him, but he will not return to me."

  • Romans 1:20 Implies that individuals are judged based on their knowledge and ability to respond, suggesting that infants, who cannot comprehend sin or salvation, fall under God’s grace.

God’s Compassion and Justice

God is perfectly just and compassionate, and He deeply loves our little ones.

  • Psalm 145:9 "The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made."

  • Deuteronomy 32:4 "The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he."

  • Matthew 19:14 "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

  • Matthew 18:10 "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven."

We believe our babies, even though we cannot hold them in our arms, are still making an impact. Their lives point to Jesus and carry eternal value. When we share their stories, we aren’t just remembering — we’re sharing the hope we’ve found and parenting in light of eternity.

Our prayer is that Something to Hold offers the reminder that God is near, He is kind, and He is present in your pain. Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are just starting to explore faith, we’re so grateful you’re here. Your story matters. Your baby’s life matters. And this is not the end.

Why we say “Angel Babies” —

We often refer to the babies we remember as "angel babies." For many grieving families, this term is a familiar way to express a sacred loss—a life gone too soon and now held in heaven. We use this phrase with gentleness and compassion, knowing it brings comfort to hearts that ache.

While we honor the love behind those words, we also want to gently share that the Bible teaches something even more beautiful: babies who die in Christ are not turned into angels—they remain precious human souls, held in the arms of Jesus. The Bible tells us that we are created in God's image, and in heaven, we will have glorified bodies and dwell with Him forever (1 John 3:2, Philippians 3:21). Our hope is not in sentimental imagery, but in the promise that our children are known, loved, and kept by a faithful God. We hold to the truth of Scripture and want to lovingly share what the Bible teaches.

The Bible clearly distinguishes between angels and humans. Angels are a unique creation, spiritual beings made to serve and worship God. Humans, however, are created in the image of God—body and soul—and have a distinct and precious place in His heart. When a baby dies, we believe they are not turned into angels, but remain who they were created to be: human, beloved, and known by God.

They are not lost forever. They are not forgotten. They are with Jesus—safe, whole, and held in His eternal presence. As Scripture says:

"We know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is." – 1 John 3:2
"He will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body." – Philippians 3:21

This is our hope: that one day, we too will be reunited in Christ—each of us fully known and fully human, glorified in Him. A Phrase of Tenderness, Not Theology

So while we sometimes use the phrase "angel babies," we do so with hearts of compassion, not as a literal description. It is simply a symbolic way to represent the beauty of heaven, not a doctrinal claim. Our true hope is not in imagery—but in the unshakeable promise of eternal life with God.

The Losses We Remember

At Something to Hold, we recognize and honor every type of loss from the moment of conception through the first year of life. Each baby matters. Each story matters. And each family deserves to be seen, supported, and remembered.

We know there are many different journeys through loss—and all are valid. If you've experienced the loss of a baby, your grief is real and your love is lasting.

We lovingly remember and honor:

  • Embryo loss (including failed IVF or embryo transfer), Chemical pregnancy, Blighted ovum, Molar pregnancy, Ectopic pregnancy

  • Missed miscarriage; First, second, and third trimester miscarriage; Stillbirth

  • Infant loss (from birth through the first year), SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), NICU loss, Loss due to medical complications at or after birth

  • Twin and multiple loss, Loss during surrogacy

  • Infertility and the grief of a baby longed for but never conceived

Each of these losses carries its own unique pain, and we hold space for them all. Your baby is worth remembering—and you are not alone in your grief. Your baby’s life, no matter how brief, has meaning. And you will always be their parent.
