“Grief is a Journey” Care Box
Heaven’s Gain Ministries is blessed to be able to offer for purchase a Care Box for those experiencing the tragic loss of a child through miscarriage or stillbirth. It is difficult to determine the best way to support a loved one through such grief. This Care Box gives you a way to offer comfort and support. The helpful items included in the care box were carefully chosen by parents who have also carried the heavy cross of miscarriage and stillbirth. Items are labeled with shared words of comfort to guide your loved one through difficult aspects of the grief journey.
Send the box to a friend or loved one to comfort and support them and to remind them of your love and prayers through this very difficult time.

I wanted to let you know -we received Makayla and Marissa’s twin urn this afternoon. It’s beautiful and exactly what I was hoping for. Thank you for taking the time to answer all of our questions and for always returning our emails so promptly . Also, last but not least, thank you for your heartfelt prayers. They are are much appreciated. Your kind note brought tears to my eyes. Thank you
We received the infant urn and it is beautiful. The cremation home was just floored about how beautiful the wood urn box and statue were. I gave her your website and they can’t wait to look.
I have my baby urn!! It’s is so beautiful I wanna thank you oh so much again!!!
Thank you so very much for the beautiful baby urn you made for our son….it is everything we expected and more. It is very comforting to us to know what a beautiful resting place he has because of you. God bless you for what you do.
I received Ava’s urn this morning, it is beautiful. Thank you for making this an easy transaction and for being so thoughtful regarding the name plate. Its comforting to know there are others that understand what I am feeling, although I wish no one had to endure such heartache
I purchased a twin angels urn now from you last month. Let me just say, it is perfect!! You have so many helpful links on your website and so many great keepsakes and what not. The service you offer has allowed me to give testament to someone else and to share the great service you provide. Thank you for what you do!!
Thank you again so much. Having someone like you that understands what exactly I’m going through makes this easier to bear…you have no idea how helpful and supportive you’ve been for me today. thank you!
The cremated remains of a body should be treated with the same respect given to the human body from which they come. This includes the use of a worthy vessel to contain the ashes, the manner in which they are carried, and the care and attention to appropriate placement and transport, and the final disposition. The cremated remains should be buried in a grave or entombed in a mausoleum or columbarium. The practice of scattering cremated remains on the sea, from the air, or on the ground, or keeping cremated remains on the home of a relative or friend of the deceased are not the reverent disposition that the Church requires. (no. 417)
As cremation is chosen more frequently, there will be many who are unaware of the Church’s teaching regarding this practice. It is important for bishops and pastors not only to catechize the faithful, but to collaborate with funeral directors in providing helpful and accurate information to families planning the funeral of loved ones. Offering opportunities to family members for the respectful burial of their loved ones, who were not interred after funeral services and cremation, would give effective witness to the importance of Christian burial and our belief in the resurrection. In all, pastors are encouraged to show pastoral sensitivity, especially to those for whom cremation is the only feasible choice (see Appendix, no. 415).
